That, I believe, isn't necessary. I started burning with a prepackaged
kernel. You just need to:
(1) add something to lilo or grub that will tell the kernel to seize the
cdrom for ide-scsi emulation. Something like:
"hdc=ide-scsi"
(2) load the appropriate module. Something like:
insmod ide-scsi
BTW the prepackaged kernel should contain all the cruft you should hope
to need.
