Hi!

look at "man 4 scd" (The Sony cd driver). Strangely enough, this is the only
place where I could get a clue about this.

Anyway, it's like the standard in FreeBSD: wcd0a is a data prtition on the CD
(I think there can be only one). wcd0c, however, is the complete disc. With
harddisks the "c" slice is where all the partition tables and such are
contained...
