You shouldn't link the raw device name to the block device, when
kscd rmatcd0c it's getting a block device (for me it worked with
matcd0c, someone else said they needed rmatcd0c, you'll need to
find which works for you). Do:

  # cd /dev
  # rm rmatcd0c
  # rm matcd0c
  # ln -s racd0c rmatcd0c
  # ln -s acd0c matcd0c

I'm not sure what to advise here. I used KDE v1.0, not v1.1, and
I have since deleted it. The only reason I still have the kscdrc
file is because pkg_delete doesn't remove "personal" files/dirs
for an app.

Here is my entire kscdrc file, it may help you but don't forget
it's for v1.0. If you still can't get it working then there are
mailing list archives at http://www.kde.org. You may find the answer
there.

Good luck.

That's probably because of the device type conflict, see above.
