Ah, I see.
My assumption was wrong then. I thought that the append= in lilo was to
pass things into compiled-in code, where modules loaded with insmod could
be passed in settings when they were being loaded.
But does that mean that if you only want one drive to be ide-scsi that you
need to use modules?
