Jeff;
The problem was/is that when the system first comes up, I see the following:
aic7xxx: <Adaptec AHA-294X Ultra SCSI host adapter> at PCI 20
aic7xxx: Warning - detected auto-termination. Please verify driver
detected settings and use manual termination if necessary.
aic7xxx: BIOS enabled, IO Port 0x6000, IO Mem 0xe0810000, IRQ 10, Revision B
aic7xxx: Single Channel, SCSI ID 7, 16/16 SCBs, QFull 16, QMask 0x1f
scsi0 : Adaptec AHA274x/284x/294x (EISA/VLB/PCI-Fast SCSI) 4.1.1/3.2.1
scsi1 : SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices
scsi : 2 hosts.
scsi0: Scanning channel A for devices.

So, the kernel was picking up each CD-Rom as sr0, sr1, sr2, sr3, etc.
I am sure that there was/is a way to rename them, but it was beyond my
limited capabilities.
At any rate, mknod worked just fine, and the system is running smoothly.
