Something along these lines, yes.

Oh. I sort of see. Is it possible to make /dev/hdd SCSI only? I'll
only really need it to write CDs (and hopefully read the CD-Rs that
my Creative ATAPI spits out).

I will do.

Right. Compiling without ATAPI CDROM support and the SCSI stuff
directly into the kernel sort of works. Except it doesn't, really:
[root%letdown /home/alisdair] # mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrw
mount: block device /dev/scd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/scd0,
or too many mounted file systems
The same happens for /dev/scd1. And now I can't access them via
/dev/hdc and /dev/hdd.

I really need ATAPI CDROM support though. One of the main uses of
my PC is as a CD rip/encoder, and emulated SCSI doesn't appear to
support cooked ioctl, so cdparanoia doesn't work.
