Maybe it is possible, but the problem is that I think that you cannot have ide
cdrom support anymore enabled, as it must recognize your HP as beeing a scsi
device and not an ide cdrom during the boot process. So, I think (I'm NOT sure)
that you must rebuid a kernel at least to disable ide cdrom support.
