With only a cdrw device and IDECD set as a module, i dont even need any
entries in in /etc/modules.conf. I load ide-scsi, sg and sr-mod in
/etc/modules.autoload and when i run cdrecord -scanbus i get:
scsibus0:
0,0,0 0) 'LITE-ON ' 'LTR-24102M ' '4DS7' Removable CD-ROM
I can reference the cdrw as /dev/sr0.
However i believe kernel 2.6 will have cd burning without the need for scsi
emulation.
