Thats not exactly true. Ever try something like this in an init script-
(if someone wants to offer a cleaner way to do this, I'm all ears)
pushd /proc/ide > /dev/null
for ide_interface in $( echo ide? ); do
[ "$ide_interface" = "ide?" ] && continue
cd $ide_interface
for ide_device in $( echo hd? ); do
[ "$ide_device" = "hd?" ] && continue
cd $ide_device
if ( cat model | grep -q "^CD-R" ); then
echo -n ide_scsi:1 >
/proc/ide/${ide_interface}/${ide_device}/settings
echo -n ide-scsi >
/proc/ide/${ide_interface}/${ide_device}/driver
fi
cd ..
done
cd ..
done
popd > /dev/null
# load ide-scsi and sr_mod modules now that any cd-writers have been
# told that they will be using the ide-scsi+sr_mod driver
/sbin/insmod -q ide-scsi
/sbin/insmod -q sr_mod
