SCSI emulation is a mechanism which allows you to use SCSI drivers instead of ATAPI drivers. This is the only way by which you can make use the IDE/ATAPI CD-R drives for writing purpose. In a normal case the kernel will load the ide-cd driver for the IDE/ATAPI CD-R drive and for some reason you can't use the drive for writing CDs. To load the ide-scsi driver instead of ide-cdrom driver you can use the append="hdb=ide-scsi" # assuming your CD-R is primary slave. statement in lilo.conf. Note that you also need the "SCSI generic support" option to be enabled in the kernel. Refer to the "CD-Writing-HOWTO" and the menuconfig/xconfig help on this topic for more details. Note that after loading the ide-scsi driver the device will be accessible as /dev/scdn and not as /dev/hdb.
