It seems that in 9.0 the cd/dvd/drive is now given a dev name of cd0

Tried to use the system burncd command in 9.0 and got this error msg
burncd: ioctl(CDRIOCGETBLOCKSIZE): Inappropriate ioctl for device
Tested using "burncd -f acd0" and "burncd -f cd0".
In both cases got the same error message.
Looks to me like the burncd command needs to be fixed
to work in 9.0.
burncd(8) supports only acd(4) driver. In 9.0 the default is the new
CAM-based ATA stack which uses cd(4) (UPDATING entry 20110424).
It's unlikely that a support for cd(4) will be added to burncd(8).
I think this should be mentioned in release notes.
Fixing burncd should be a priority, this PR gets it into the "must fix
queue" before the next round of beta or RC releases. Yes you have
identified what is causing it to not work, but you have not followed
through. The next step is to assign it to someone to work on it now.
Thats the whole idea of the PR system and beta testing.
If burncd is not going to work in 9.0 then it should be removed from the
release all together. Has any research been done to identify other
system commands or ports that changing the system default from acd0 to
cd0 effects?
