Assuming that you're using persistent superblocks, you don't have to do
anything to make it work. Why would adding a CD-RW drive change the drive
letters for the disks, shouldn't it be a srX, or scdX? Assuming that your
CD-RW is relatively new, you may actually get better performance from
putting it on the same bus as those other SCSI disks, depending on what
you're doing. The aha152x was a pretty crappy ISA controller. Even my
Mylex VLB controler outperforms it by a fair margin.
