In reference to your question as to whether or not MSCD001 is a file
or not...
I do not believe that it is, rather it is a variable which is
passed from your CD-ROM driver to MSCDEX.  I believe that you
can choose to use any name as the variable as long as the
SAME name is used in MSCDEX too.
As an example, here are the respective lines from my config.sys and
autoexec.bat

in config.sys:

DEVICE=C:\CDROMDRV\CDMKE43.SYS /D:MVCD001 /SBP:220 /N:1

in autoexec.bat:

c:\cdromdrv\mscdex /d:mvcd001 /m:30 /v /l:E

NOTE: I've used MVCD001 as my variable.  So in your case, if you
want to use MSD001 as your variable, ensure that you have the
switch '/D:MSD001' in BOTH your CD-ROM driver statement and
in your MSCDEX statement.

I hope that helps!
