read the FAQ's linked to on xcdroast.org. you have to have scsi emulation build in ther kernel or as a module, and you have to tell the ide-cd drivers to ignore your cdrom. Rather than doing this, i just didnt compile and IDE drivers at all, just scsi emulation and scsi support (the cd-r is the only ide device in the machine). The goal is to get your cd-r to showup when you run "cdrecord -scanbus". Also make sure to build scsi generic support.
