Seems you are having a problem then ^_^.
However, you may be able to bypass it with a trick.
Make the ide-scsi, ide-cd and sr_mod as modules (you probably have that
already) and put 'igone=/dev/hdc' in lilo (well, that is what I remember:
the kernel ignores /dev/hdc then).
Now load ide-scsi and sr_mod to burn your discs. When finished burning,
unload those modules ans insmod ide-cdrom.
No idea if this works, but it can be tried. I am not sure if the ignore
variable is carried this far.
