It is likely that you can make a dual-boot situation for the SAME system, one in which hdc=ide-scsi is in the LILO append line for making CD-Rs or CDRWs and another in which the Append line has hdc=ide-cd for viewing DVDs... (And for both the entry in /etc/fstab for /mnt/cdrom has the stanza dev=/dev/hdc in the options) I hope to find a way of integrating this, but right now it seems to be a serious deficiency in some DVD players that they will not function properly under SCSI emulation (Several DVD players do well in SCSI emulation mode).
