I'm not familiar with pcmcia, but for an ide burner, you need a line in
/etc/modules that reads 'scsi_hostadapter' and a line in modules.conf
that reads 'probeall scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi'. I think that's all I
did, along with 'hdb=ide-scsi' in lilo.conf as you've already done. As
for your pcmcia card working at boot, I don't know. Perhaps a line in
modules.conf.
