The hdc= line is for the ide-cdrom driver, telling it not to touch that drive. The only way you can avoid putting hdc= on the kernel command line is my making IDE CDROM support modular, and adding the following: /etc/modules.d/aliases: options ide-cdrom hdc=ide-scsi /etc/modules.autoload: ide-cdrom This solution sucks, although a perhaps a more pertinant point would be "why?" -- Bruce J.A.
