>Environment:

FreeBSD 2.1.0-current as of last night

>Description:

(bt0:4:0): "NEC CD-ROM DRIVE:210 1.0" is a type 5 removable SCSI 1
cd0(bt0:4:0): CD-ROM 
cd0(bt0:4:0): NOT READY csi:20,b,0,0 asc:b,0
cd0: could not get size
drive empty

I loaded up the new boot blocks and am NOT booting with -v, so verbose is
turned off.  This is way too much information, and the "drive empty" line
doesn't refer to the device.

In my opinion, the output in this case should have simply been:

(bt0:4:0): "NEC CD-ROM DRIVE:210 1.0" is a type 5 removable SCSI 1
cd0: drive empty

>How-To-Repeat:

Boot a kernel on a system with a CDROM drive with nothing in it.

>Fix:
	
Lose the following lines:

cd0(bt0:4:0): CD-ROM
cd0(bt0:4:0): NOT READY csi:20,b,0,0 asc:b,0
cd0: could not get size

Add the device name to the line:

drive empty
