You should have SCSI support built into kernel (SCSI, SCSI CD-ROM and SCSI Generic). Then you need to pass
option to the kernel at boot up (replace hdc with your own CDRW drive of course) |

Yes, exactly. hda=Primary Master, hdb=Primary Slave, hdc=Secondary Master, hdd=Secondary Slave.

Yes, but all ide cdr and cdrw drives emulate themselves as scsi devices (or so it was explained to me). You need to compile ide-scsi, scsi generic support, and scsi cdrom support into your kernel. In addition you have to add the hdc=ide-scsi to your grub config because you need to tell your computer that this particular drive is going to be emulated *before* the boot process grabs it and decides that it will be just a plain old ide drive.
You'll probably want to install cdrecord too. Once you can type "cdrecord -scanbus" and see your burner, you'll be all set. |
