The CD-ROM in question is a CD-RW. The system set it up as /dev/scd0 which is not accessible from hdparam. if I turn it into an ide device, I will no longer be able to write CDs with it.
Does anyone know a way around this? I can't hardly believe that all the millions of Linux users have been, and still are, stuck with CD-RWs that have to masquerade as SCSI devices.
