I'm not sure about that. To my knowledge SCSI disks devices have major
number 8 and are called sd*, SCSI CD-rom devices have major number 11 and
are called scd*. The sr* prefix has been deprecated.

Anyway, the scd devices don't exist so should be added to root.blk.mk. I
think permission 660 is ok for CD and root.disk should by ok for
owner/group.

Thanks for finding that bug!
