You should have SCSI support built into kernel (SCSI, SCSI CD-ROM and SCSI Generic). Then you need to pass
Code:
hdc=ide-scsi

option to the kernel at boot up (replace hdc with your own CDRW drive of course)

you can always do a "dmesg | grep hd" to find out what got assigned to what.

Yes, but all ide cdr and cdrw drives emulate themselves as scsi devices (or so it was explained to me). You need to compile ide-scsi, scsi generic support, and scsi cdrom support into your kernel. In addition you have to add the hdc=ide-scsi to your grub config because you need to tell your computer that this particular drive is going to be emulated *before* the boot process grabs it and decides that it will be just a plain old ide drive.

You'll probably want to install cdrecord too. Once you can type "cdrecord -scanbus" and see your burner, you'll be all set.
