fwiw, I always get this console message if the cd device is opened
and there is an audio CD inserted. Harmless, cdplay works anyway.
It's obvious where it comes from: the cd driver calls cdgetdisklabel()
on any first open(), even for the raw partition.
If it really has to be avoided, perhaps the TOC should be read first?
The original problem seems to be another one, however.
