it's about the device number on your build-system. you need to point to the
device existing on your build-system. if you have no devfs on your build-
system, then you use /dev/scd0. If you do have devfs, then you're probably
right (I didn't have the time yet to study devfs).

Yes, rdev alters the kernel image.
