ok, I got it to work by adding the lines to conf.modules, adding the
"append" line to lilo.conf, and adding the lines below to rc.local.
Thanks to all those who helped. Now, one more question: How can I get
the SCSI emulation to work for hdd (the writer) and hdc (regular cdrom
drive), so that I can copy disks? I assume I need to add something to
the append line and to conf.modules....
