I'm using SCSI emulation for my cd writer via the kernel options and append="hdd=ide-scsi" in lilo.conf. When running redhat, cdrom1 is actually a link to /dev/scd0. When I try that under debian, mount attempts result in invalid block device. I've tried scd1, sr0, etc, w/o luck. I am able to write cds with cdrecord, just can't mount them with this drive.
