You need to add "hdX=ide-scsi" to the kernel command-line (with "append" if
you're using lilo.conf, just by adding it to the command-line listed in
grub.conf if you're using that).  Where "hdX" is the device name that the
CD burner shows up on (for example, "hdc" if it's the secondary channel
master device).
