Let's see if there are any opinions on freebsd-standards.

The question is, what sort of error should we return from a peripheral
driver (cd(4), da(4), etc.) open() routine when there is no media in the
drive?

Currently all CAM drivers will return ENXIO, and although the PR says that
the acd(4) driver returns EIO, I can't tell from acdopen that it returns
any errors at all if media isn't present.

My guess is that EIO is getting returned sometime later in the acd(4)
driver.  (If that is still the case, this PR was filed in late 1999.)

So is there any opinion on -standards as to what sort of error we should
return on open if there is no media in a drive?
