same major and minor nodes == no difference in functionality.
sanfrancisco:~$ cat /etc/makedev.d/scsicd
$numdevs{$name} = 16; $stddevs{$name} = "^([a-z]*[01])\$";
$generate{$name} = sub {
&$MkNod ("cdrom", sprintf("scd%d",$i), "b", 11, $i);
&$MkNod ("cdrom", sprintf("sr%d",$i), "b", 11, $i);
}
one makedev script to create both == no difference in use.
iirc /dev/scd* is for backward compatibility with <= 2.2 kernels.
yes, scd0 and sr0 will work fine for burning cdroms.
rick: what problems are you having?
thanks!
