Air will auto-detect most ATAPI CD-Writers and automatically add a line in
lilo.conf to append something like "hdd=ide-scsi" so that SCSI emulation is
automatically enabled. Recompiling the kernel is unnecessary, support for
this is provided in the stock kernel.

Mine is ATAPI, and it worked fine right out of the box for CD burning.
However, I wasn't able to mount CD-ROMs normally using supermount (see
below).

The problem with supermount is actually a problem with Mandrake's
installer. Because it is enabling SCSI emulation for your CD-Writer, it
should make /dev/cdrom2 (or whichever link corresponds to your CD-Writer) a
link to /dev/scd0, but instead it makes a link to /dev/hdd (or whichever IDE
drive it is), which makes the CD-Writer unusuable for _reading_ CD-ROMs.
Execute these commands:
cd /dev
ln -fs cdrom2 scd0
(replacing "cdrom2" with the appropriate link) and your CD-Writer will once
again be readable, and will work fine with supermount.
