The first "c" is part of the standard name for the whole of a (labelled) disk device. phk is busily breaking this standard. The second "c" is because cdcontrol tries tacking on a "c" in case the user forgot it. Here the user didn't specify a device name, so the default of "cd0c" was tried, and since that was broken recently, it doesn't work, and a "c" is tacked on to it. The user can work around this easily enough by specifying the device, except in the !DEVFS case when the device doesn't exist. > Okay.
