I did it through recompiling the kernel with:
no support for IDE CD devices support for SCSI CD support for SSCI gerneric devices support for IDE-SCSI emulation
worked on reboot, fstab just needed to be modified to /dev/scd0 > /cdrom

There is a HOWTO on this.
any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance. btw. how should I enter in the information in /etc/fstab?
Also, you may need to do a kernel upgrade.
I recently asked this question and Ken Caldwell posted what he did to get it working under Debian Woody.
I really should have posted to the list anyway. This is what I wrote:

I do not have the ide-cd.o module on my system anywhere. I was wondering where it comes from (source).
The problem is I am trying to get a IDE CD-burner working on the Debian system and without this module, I can not access the other CD drive. Usual stuff, which I have done before, but this time, that module is missing.
Hi Terry,
I rebuilt my "Woody" box this morning. You are right the default kernel 2.4.18bf does not support a CD burner. I think you may be wrong about the reason though.
What I did was to run modconf and install the "sg" module. (you need both the "sg" and "ide-scsi" modules but the "ide-scsi" module was listed as having already been installed. I then cd to the /dev directory and rm cdrom followed by ln -s scd0 cdrom This was insufficient to get cdrecord working so I did aptitude install kernel-image-2.4.18-1-386 and rebooted using that kernel. I am burning a CD using the box (not this box) as I type.
I will be out for an hour or so but will be home later this afternoon or this evening. Feel free to 'phone if you have a problem.
cheers,
Ken
