Just in case you need another device in the future, you could've gotten
that from the man page for mknod, combined with a "ls -l /dev/sr0" on
another linux box - if you had one around...  It probably says somewhere in
the prolific kernel docs (or source, if you don't like reading natural
language) what major and minor numbers most devices expect too.
