This is what I ended up doing - had to add the permissions line to enable
cd-writing
# AKC 10th Dec 2001
# create the standard symlinks that I use
# First my IDE DVD drive
REGISTER ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0/cd CFUNCTION GLOBAL symlink
$devname dvd
UNREGISTER ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0/cd CFUNCTION GLOBAL unlink dvd

After thinking a little about this then I did this in /etc/modutils
# AKC 10th Dec 2001
# v1.0 Special alias file
# These seem to be standard modules not covered.
alias net-pf-17 af_packet #packet filter
alias char-major-6 lp
#NVdriver puts this in aliases - but better in here
alias char-major-195 NVdriver
#define sound card
alias /dev/sound emu10k1
#define scsi host adapter
alias scsi-hosts aic7xxx
#logitech joystick (? - not sure if I have right model)
alias /dev/joystick adi
# Link my dvd drive
alias /dev/dvd ide-cd
# These two lines are in place because /etc/modutils/1devfsd then maps
# to the actual modules (and calls scsi-hosts - see above)
alias /dev/cdrom /dev/sr0
alias /dev/cd-r /dev/sg0
But this depended on the setup already in /etc/modutils/1devfsd - the key
line is alias scsi-hosts aic7xxx

Well, I managed to create my first data CD using KreateCD - and then read it
by mounting it on /dev/dvd - with just those two files above created. I
think to be fair I don't think /dev/cd-r is relevent as KreateCD scans the
SCSI bus itself and works out where the CD is. I tried a test run using
cdrtoaster but that failed - I think this might be to do with it not
supporting multisession cds
