There is no ide-scsi module in the /lib/modules/2.4.19 tree for UltraSPARC that I use. There is an ide-scsi module in the 2.4.21 modules tree. After you have a kernel with the ide-scsi module, you need to add a line to silo.conf like append="hdc=ide-scsi" in the section for your particular kernel. This is for a CD-RW drive that is on the secondary controller set as master, i.e. /dev/hdc. Note: I know that this append command works in lilo.conf on x86 boxes from experience, but I am inferring from the silo.conf docs that this same approach works on an UltraSPARC; I have not yet used an IDE CD-RW drive in Ultra hardware. -- SP
