Check out the "Newbieized Help File" on CR-RW installation
at the Linux Newbie site <http://www.linuxnewbie.org> .
And, yes, these devices do prefer to be in the "slave" position.
You will need to recompile the kernel to disable "IDE CDROM" and
emable "Generic SCSI Support" and "SCSI CDROM Support".
And append <device>=EIDE-SCSI to LILO (or GRUB as the case may be.
