It's sensible to suppose that if you're a newbie you're using one of
those "pre-packaged" kernels. With some notable exceptions, the
pre-packaged kernels have everything you'll need (and more) to get your
hardware working. You'll probably only need to enable scsi emulation.
You need to just add a line to your /etc/lilo.conf like:
append "hdd=ide-scsi"
The hdd varies with the actual drive designation of your CD writer (the
most popular use of the scsi emulation stuff). Then you add the
corresponding module to your /etc/modules file: a line for (surprise!)
ide-scsi
