Correct, but there was an additional problem with 7.0. IIRC, even
tho the ide-scsi line was properly implemented, the hd* or the /cdrom2
was improperly, or not even linked to /dev/scd0. Again, IIRC, the fix
was to delete the offending link and then to create a new correct link.
The tutorial use to reflect this, but since 7.0 is getting almost
ancient, the tutorial no longer reflects the needed link fix for 7.0.
It's got to be in the ML archives somewhere. If I'm the only one that
remembers it this way, I'll try to hunt up the fix, but I can't get to
it right now. 'Course a sure fix would be to upgrade to 7.2 ;)
