You have to recompile your kernel to enable scsi-emulation and then also
edit your lilo or loadlin-configuration.
I found this in a previous discussion on this topic in the list (sent in
by a certain "Seth"):
------------------------------------
I've gotten the IDE-SCSI emulation working in a 2.2 (2.2.9?)
kernel and have a lilo append line which allows the CDRW (a new Smart and
Friendly, JVC repackaged) to live on sg0 while the CD-ROM lives on hdd.
This works flawlessly. I've burned to this drive under linux (only a
couple of times) and ripped from the other. The CDRW is master on IDE1
and the CD-ROM is slave on IDE1.
I have CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDESCSI=y, CONFIG_SCSI=y,
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y and CONFIG_CHR_DEV_SG=y as the chief differences
between my pre-CDRW kernel. My lilo.conf has :
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.9
label=current
append="hdc=ide-scsi"
read-only
As the boot line.
-----------------------------------------------
Another valuable source of information is amongst the cdrecord
documentation: README.ATAPI
Ask again if this does not solve your problem.
Regards.
