Re: setting up cd a writer

[Igor TAmara <igor@tamarapatino.org>]

I'm using an Ultra 10 with LG CD R-W, it burns and it's ide, you can
grab ide-scsi.o for 2.4.18 or 2.2.20 and use it.  The silo.conf has the
append, don't forget to use modconf to add the module or modify the
corresponding files in /etc
