[lug] Getting a TDK veloCD recognized to use as a CD-RW

[Jeff]

1.  Make sure that the device (/dev/hdc in this case) is not mounted at
boot time.
2.  Don't compile the scsi stuff into the kernel.  Use modules.
3.  Load the appropriate modules (sg, ide-scsi, etc) and select your
favorite CD burner

have fun.  if you need more help let me know.
