Sorry for the HTML but I have started to work on updating my web page
and I thought I would stick a few of the thinks I have had to do to
get Linux to work my way on it. It still needs some work but maybe it
will help you. Just skip the :
ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom
Since you already have a /dev/cdrom hooked to something different.

Title: IDE-SCSI Emulation
How I Got the IDE-SCSI Emulation to Work
To record on a IDE CD-R under Linux you need to have the IDE emulate a SCSI drive.
This is how I got my IDE CD-R to work. Thanks to Deja-news and:

First become root and edit the /etc/lilo.conf and add an append="hdd=ide-scsi" to it. Here is mine:
/etc/lilo.config
boot=/dev/hda6
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
append="hdd=ide-scsi"
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.9-19mdksmp
label=linux
root=/dev/hda11
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.9-19mdksmp.img
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.9-19mdk
label=linux-up
root=/dev/hda11
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.9-19mdk.img
read-only
other=/dev/hda1
label=dos
table=/dev/hda
Then, add the following lines at the end of your /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
/sbin/modprobe ide-scsi
/sbin/modprobe sg
This will configure your CD-RW to emulate a SCSI device.
The last step is to link /dev/cdrom to your CD-RW.
ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom
Reboot!
make sure everything works. As root type
cdrecord -scanbus
My resutlts were:

I had an error message about block-major-11 so I addded this change:
/etc/config.modules
alias scsi_hostadapter0 ide-scsi
alias scsi_hostadapter1 advansys
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
pre-install pcmcia_core /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start
alias sound es1370
alias block-major-11 ide-scsi
Note that I have a real SCSI card installed for a Jaz drive and I had to
change the alias for the Advansys SCSI card.
