Try looking at your /var/log/syslog -- use this:
#grep "scsi CD-ROM" syslog
and it *should* tell you to which device it has attached:
Feb 12 14:14:03 kavalier kernel: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0
Of course, now that I look at this... I'm realizing that these are
reported *after* I mount the device...
Do you have any other scsi devices loaded? You say that you *can* write
cds with the drive -- what scsibus, channel, id, and lun are reported by
cdrecord? Do you get any errors generated by ide-scsi?

Been there :-( Hopefully this will help!
