Confused here - is your plain ATAPI CD hdc or hdd?

You need to use the ide-scsi module, because the CD drive needs to be
accessed as a SCSI device in order for cdrecord/xcdroast/etc. to see it
(it probably uses the SCSI command set internally anyway). To do this,
at the LILO prompt, type 'linux hdc=ide-scsi' (assuming that the burner
is /dev/hdc).

Now you can do a 'cdrecord -scanbus' and see if the burner shows up. If
it does, you can set up some things like an fstab entry, and placing the
the 'hdc=ide-scsi' as an append line in lilo.conf, and so on.

Have fun,
	Chris
