I ran into this problem just a couple months ago. The solution is
actually relatively simple.
In your /etc/modules file, add the following:
ide-cd ignore <cdrw drive>
ide-scsi
where <cdrw drive> is the drive spec for your CDRW (hda, hdb, hdc, hdd).
I found that the form 'ide-scsi ignore hdx' didn't work -- it wasn't
ignoring the specified drive. In addition, passing the options via the
bootloader didn't work for whatever reasons... go figure.
Also, I've had problems when manually setting DMA on ide-scsi drives, so
be warned.
