The same line.=A0 So it should look like this if your cdrom is =
/dev/hdc.
=A0
=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.7-10 ro =
root=3D/dev/hda2=A0hdc=3Dide-scsi

=A0

mike=20

does this mean that you add this on a new line or on the same line as
kernel...=20

for instance this is my grub.conf:=20

# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this =
file
# NOTICE:=A0 You have a /boot partition.=A0 This means that
#=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 all kernel and initrd paths are relative =
to /boot/, eg.
#=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 root (hd0,0)
#=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 kernel /vmlinuz-version ro =
root=3D/dev/hda2
#=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=3D/dev/hda
default=3D0
timeout=3D10
splashimage=3D(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.7-10)
=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 root (hd0,0)

=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.7-10 ro root=3D/dev/hda2=A0 =
<-- would I add it here?

=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 initrd /initrd-2.4.7-10.img

=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 < or here>

Got it to work....found it in the Grub faq.

Have to add to the kernel command line options (/etc/grub/grub.conf)

hdc=3Dide-scsi

Then to modules.conf

options ide-cd ignore=3D'hdc'

(yes, those are single quotes)

Then xcdroast could see both drives. COOL!
