I'd prefer to get the same name for your cd everywhere, like a /dev/cd
for the first cd unit found. I do that by hand by binding under /n.
The price for not doing so is to have some programs look at /dev/sdC1
by default and others look at /dev/sdD1 (both things are wrong, depending
on the pc you're using).
Disks don't use to have that problem, since most boxes have them attached
at sdC0, but cd units...
