	Actually, neither.  It complains about the eject command.

	/dev/scd0 is known by the system and works fine at least
when I am mounting a CDROM for reading.

	Before using the SCSI emulation, this device was
/dev/cdrom so that behavior is exactly as it should be.

	This is the darndest problem I have come across yet.  If
I type

mount /dev/scd0 /mnt

I can read the disk as if it was a SCSI device.  I don't know
what else to try.

	By the way, my utmost thanks to everybody who has had a
suggestion.  I think I have either done something very odd in the
setup or kernel building process or we have a bug of some kind.
This just doesn't add up.
