One way to do it is to include the parameter hd?=ide-scsi (the "?" is the letter for your burner) in your boot config file. For GRUB (/boot/grub/menu.lst) you'd have something like: kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.19 root=/dev/sdb9 ro hd?=ide-scsi where everything up to the hdc parameter should be exactly what's in your current config file. For LILO (/etc/lilo.conf) adding this to your linux stanza should work: append hd?=ide-scsi Don't forget to run lilo (/sbin/lilo) after making any changes to lilo.conf. No need to do anything other than edit the file for GRUB. I really haven't tried adding the filter after booting, but I'm sure there's a way. One note, once the ide-scsi filter is active, you'll need to refer to your drive by its SCSI name (e.g. /dev/scd0) rather than its old IDE name (e.g. you may need to update the /dev/cdrom symlink to point to the new drive name).
