cdr, device names, and ide-scsi

[pardsbane at offthehill.org (Josh Pollak)]

I'm not quite sure what you mean, but you can use an IDE CD Burner with 
cdrecord and other burning software. However, if the drive  is showing 
up as hd[x], it isn't being connected through the ide-scsi module.

You need to specifically disable the kernel from connecting to that 
drive with the ide module, and then load ide-scsi (or build it into 
your kernel). At that point, the drive will show up as sd[x] and you 
can use it normally.

If you type:

cdrecord -scanbus

You should see your drive listed. If you don't, something is wrong.
