configuring lilo.conf



Hey,

I'm using a proprietary, Creative external CD-ROM drive.  I have built
in kernel support for this (sbpcd), but it has to scan for my drive
everytime.  I want to configure lilo so that it doesn't have to do this
(I think it's possible cause it says this:)

sbpcd-0 [01]:  sbpcd.c v4.61 Eberhard Moenkeberg <emoenke@gwdg.de>
sbpcd-0 [02]:  Looking for Matsushita/Panasonic, CreativeLabs,
Longshine, TEAC CD-ROM drives
sbpcd-0 [03]:  = = = = = = = = = = W A R N I N G = = = = = = = = = =
sbpcd-0 [04]:  Auto-Probing can cause a hang (f.e. touching an NE2000
card).
sbpcd-0 [05]:  If that happens, you have to reboot and use the
sbpcd-0 [06]:  LILO (kernel) command line feature like:
sbpcd-0 [07]:     LILO boot: ... sbpcd=0x230,SoundBlaster
sbpcd-0 [08]:  or like:
sbpcd-0 [09]:     LILO boot: ... sbpcd=0x300,LaserMate
sbpcd-0 [10]:  or like:
sbpcd-0 [11]:     LILO boot: ... sbpcd=0x338,SoundScape
sbpcd-0 [12]:  with your REAL address.
sbpcd-0 [13]:  = = = = = = = = = = END of WARNING = = = = = == = = =
sbpcd-0 [14]:  Scanning 0x340 (LaserMate)...
sbpcd-0 [15]:  Scanning 0x230 (SoundBlaster)...
sbpcd-0 [16]:  Drive 0 (ID=1): CR-563 (0.80) at 0x230 (type 1)
sbpcd-1 [17]:  You should read linux/Documentation/cdrom/sbpcd
sbpcd-1 [18]:  and then configure sbpcd.h for your hardware.

my /etc/lilo.conf looks like this:
boot=/dev/hda1
root=/dev/hda1
install=/boot/boot.b
map=/boot/map
vga=normal
delay=20
image=/vmlinuz
        label=Linux
        read-only
sbpcd=0x230,SoundBlaster

Why does it still scan?

Thanks,
Cameron Matheson
