There doesn't seem to be any clear documentation anywhere on setting up scsi 
emulation so you can use a cd-writer.  Anyone care to shed a little light on 
this?  A while back I had a writer that was automatically set up as such by 
both Redhat and Mandrake, but now Mandrake recognizes my new writer as a 
drive, but it only works in ide mode, and cdrecord -scanbus gives me:

# cdrecord -scanbus
Cdrecord 2.0 (i586-mandrake-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2002 J�rg Schilling
cdrecord: No such file or directory. Cannot open '/dev/pg*'. Cannot open SCSI 
driver.
cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are 
root.
cdrecord: For possible transport specifiers try 'cdrecord dev=help'.

        I love how running cdrecord -scanbus tells me to run cdrecord -scanbus.
        It looks like fooling with the grub/lilo config has something to do with it, 
but I can't tell what, or if something else is also necessary.  
        Any help is appreciated.
