Thanks, but can't we define both 'cd' and 'cdrom' (and 'hd' and
'disk') so that both existing boot scripts are happy and users are
more familiar with consistent user interface? At least I always first
try 'cdrom' on PPC before remembering that it's 'cd'.

No problem for me: specs uses "cdrom" and powermac OF uses "cd", so I  
think we can define both.
Do you want I modify the patch or you do ?

I'll do it, there are also Sparc32 ESP SCSI aliases.
