Well the CD will always be used via either native SCSI or SCSI
emulation. As I'll be using devfs I guess the device name would actually
be /dev/cdroms/cdrom0

I've never used rdev before - does it actually alter the contents of a
kernel image? If so then I guess "rdev /lfs/boot/vmlinux
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0" would do what I need.
