Ummm, tis a kernel message an apppend either to lilo or GRUB depending on
which one you use
append=" hdb=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi"
where hdb is the CDRW and hdd is the CD would be an example of the line you
feed to lilo in lilo.conf under your linux boot. Obviously, you can also
take the boot where only
append=" hdb=ide-scsi"
and label it something like linux-ide.cd and keep both around. This is
particularly useful if the kernel is older and the drive is really a DVD and
you then need the two boots because _some_ brands of DVD and CDRW/DVD won't
do DVD under ide-scsi emulation.
