Thanks Ton for tip.  Come to think of it, I should have thought append in lilo.

Also thanks to Jonathan Dlouhy who sent me even more detailed instraction as
following;

Here's what I did with no kernel recompiling. Add this to your
/etc/lilo.conf: append="hdx=ide-scsi", where "x" is the drive letter ofyour
cd rom. Then add to /etc/rc.d/rc/local, "modprobe ide-scsi".
Then lind /dev/scd0 to /dev/cdrom. Go to /dev and "rm" "cdrom". Then: ln -s
/dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom. That keeps your cdrom available for normal activies.
It will now be recognized as a scsi device. Reboot and you're done.That's it!
Good luck, let me know how you come out.

With rc.local, I am all set for next reboot.

Thanks folks.

Osamu
