	Well since idecd is not a module, you need the append line.
The only way to change idecd to a module is to compile a new kernel.
	But your kernel must also set CONFIG_SCSI and CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR.
Now i assume you have CONFIG_CHR_DEV_SG and CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDESCSI set.
	If any of these are not set in your current kernel configuration
you will have to compile a new kernel and set them as modules.
