You have to insert this in /etc/lilo.conf
append="hdb=ide-scsi"
Then, type "lilo" and reboot.
This will remove the IDE detection for your CDRW and emulate a SCSI
adapter.
You then have to do (or put in /etc/rc.d/rc.local):
modprobe ide_scsi
modprobe sg
This will map /dev/scd0 to your new scsi-emulated atapi drive.
You will have to change the symbolic link to your cdrom so it reads
/dev/scd0.
