[plug] CD burner HOWTO question

[Harry McNally]

PLUGers

I'm setting up an IDE CD burner (hdc) and I'm missing something; probably
an icy cold beer.

I've:

- added the line
  append="hdc=ide-scsi"
  to my image= entry in lilo.conf and run lilo 
  Entry now reads:

default=Linux
image=/vmlinuz
        label=Linux
        initrd=/initrd.img
        read-only
        append=" hdc=ide-scsi"
#       restricted
#       alias=1
 
- used modconf to install ide-scsi and removed ide-cd
- checked and found that the following modules are also installed:
  isofs, ide-mod, ide-probe-mod, ide-scsi, scsi-mod, sg, sr_mod 
- symlinked /dev/cdrom -> /dev/scd0
- rebooted

but
cdrecord -scanbus
can't see any scsi devices.

An attempt to
# mount /cdrom
says it isn't a block device but I seem to be following the destructions
ok. Also:

marigold:/# ls -la /dev/scd0
brw-rw----    1 root     cdrom     11,   0 Nov  5  2001 /dev/scd0

Unless my blunders is obvious, can anyone confirm that the append will work
ok with initrd ? I'm starting right back at the beginning of the whole
process. Otherwise, how might I tell that the hdc mapping to ide-scsi has
worked correctly ? Is there something more I need to do with /dev/scd0 ?
Argh !
