Yes, but must be:
append="ide2=0xXXX,XX hde=ide-scsi"
For kernel 2.2.12 and possibly some earlier, you no longer need the
hde=ide-scsi. However this autodetection may only apply to ide0 and
ide1. Add the following to the end of your /etc/rc.local:
modprobe ide-cd
modprobe sr_mod
modprobe cdrom
modprobe sg
modprobe isofs
This will give you a reader. To get a writer dynamically at run time
rmmod ide-cd and then insmod ide-scsi, v-v to restore as a reader. If
you are using xcdroast to copy a CD you don't even have to do any of
this since the image file is built through a physical read using dd.
You may need to update your kernel to get this nice functionality.
