Read the howto again.  See that script that's buried in the text.  It's most
of what you need to know.  First tell the kernel that it can't use the writer
as an ide cdrom using the append thing in lilo mentioned in previous mails.
Run lilo and reboot.  Now copy that script to a new file.  Make it executable
and run it.  Oooh look there's your cd writer.
