"Sony CD-Rom" a-la /usr/src/sys/arch/i386/i386/conf.c

   [...]
   #include "scd.h"
   bdev_decl(scd);
 
   struct bdevsw   bdevsw[] =
   {
   [...]
           bdev_disk_init(NSCD,scd),       /* 15: Sony CD-ROM */
   };

And I didn't put that in my config file (see below).

And, when I hack out the scd entry in files.i386.newconf, it also pukes
nicely when it can't find "scd.h" ("make depend" told me about that, but
I tried anyway).

Understood, but I didn't modify any files myself outside of running sup.

Take a peek at what I typed in parantheses ().
