 Actually it does not matter which device is the raw partition.
 All cd partition devices will behave the same as soon as -s is
 present.
 
 A hint about sysctl kern.rawpartition would rather be appropriate
 for the man page of mscdlabel(8).
 
 So how about just not talking about "c", "d", "cd0", or "cd1" ?
 -----------------------------------------------------------------
   Such a default offset will be overridden by option
   .Fl s
 - so that all /dev/cd* will behave like the raw partition device /dev/cd*d
 - resp. /dev/cd*c.
 + so that all
 + .Pa /dev/cd*
 + will behave like raw partition devices.

 -----------------------------------------------------------------
 
 The explanation of "raw partition device" can be found by following
 the now many references to mscdlabel(8).
 
 In context this would state
 ----------------------------------------------------------------
      Command mscdlabel(8) may have connected some /dev/cd* files to
      logical tracks of an optical multi-session medium, giving the
      device files the matching superblock positions for the recognized
      ISO-9660 filesystems.  Such a default offset will be overridden
      by option -s so that all /dev/cd* will behave like raw partition
      devices.
