Yeah, I thought so.

It is. I dropped ide-scsi like a hot potato once cdrecord supported ATAPI
drives.

That's so strange. I realized that the ide-cd didn't get loaded at boot,
and modprobe'ing it gave me /dev/hd{b,d}, which correspond to my CD-RW and
DVD drives' locations on the IDE bus. Still no /dev/ide or /dev/scsi,
though.

I'd settle for anything that worked right now. I even purged the udev
package, removed /etc/udev, and reinstalled it to make sure that I'm running
a completely clean installation - no joy. :-/
