In drivers/scsi/sr.c change:

printk("Detected scsi CD-ROM sr%d at scsi%d, channel %d, id %d, lun %d\n",

to:

printk("Detected scsi CD-ROM scd%d at scsi%d, channel %d, id %d, lun %d\n",

Change "sr" to "scd" since MAKEDEV now creates /dev/scd* devices
instead of /dev/sr* devices.

At least for the moment, the official name of the device is /dev/sr<N> and the
kernel driver is sr.c. The above message should only be changed if we are
going to officially decide that SCSI CD-ROMs are named /dev/scd<N>. I consider
MAKEDEV to be in error, and any change should be made *there*, not to the
kernel.
