It is neccesary. Linux needs to see the IDE burner as SCSI from init.
You can't tell the kernel that what was once IDE is now SCSI, or it will
never recognize it as SCSI, and you'll never be able to use it as such.
As proof, try finding the IDE burner under /proc/scsi if you never
loaded it as such in LILO or GRUB.
