Precedence: bulk

 * If we start this, we should probably provide symlinks for all
 * `standard' device that has been found, like /dev/tape + /dev/ntape and
 * /dev/[r]diskette.

I don't know how that follows.

 * What about people with half a dozen of each drive type?  Create
 * symlinks /dev/cdrom0 ... /dev/cdromN, or just create the first one?

Just the first one is fine.  People having half a dozen of them
clearly need to know what they are doing.

 * (Which one is the `primary' drive for a machine that has /dev/cd0c and
 * /dev/wcd0c?)

No idea.  Whoever builds a machine like that clearly needs to know
what they are doing. :)

 * Which partition name should the symlink point to?  It seems that
 * cdcontrol recently only accepts /dev/cd0c (it used to accept /dev/cd0a
 * as well previously).

Then /dev/cd0c should be fine.
