Michael,
Been a "real long time", If you hang the CD off of the sound card, you
*should* be able to hand the kernel an append statement at the boot
prompt. append="cdu31a=0x1f88,0"
I don't have my old Sony hardware anymore "or the old lilo.conf", but look
in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/cdrom/cdu31a for the info.
Have fun,
