Hello:
I recently had to do a similar thing, I have a yamaha 6416 and an old
2740 adaptec scsi card, mine was recognized on setup, here is my 2
cents.
when you do the modeprobe nothing will show, to see if the module is
loaded you can do "lsmod". if the right module is installed then you
need to check if the right cd-r is recognized. if you have cdrecord
installed you can do cdrecord -scanbus and it will show you the
available cd-r's that you have.
you can mount it like you said if it's on the first scsi card and it has
the 1 identifier.
I hope that might help you out..
good luck
