Er, yes. The file /etc/modutils/ide-cd passes the
parameters to the module when it is loaded.
Try the following now (per the CD-Writing-HOWTO),
add the following lines to /etc/modules/actions:
pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi
pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi
pre-install ide-scsi modprobe ide-cd
Then I suggest using modconf to unload:
/kernel/drivers/ide ide-cd
Not loaded.
and then make sure the following are loaded:
/kernel/drivers/scsi/ sg
Already loaded
/kernel/drivers/scsi/ sr_mod
Not an option
/kernel/drivers/scsi/ ide-scsi
Installing module ide-scsi. If the device isn't there, or isn't
configured correctly, this could cause your system to pause for up to a
minute.
modprobe: Can't locate module ide-cd
modprobe: pre-install ide-scsi failed
modprobe: insmod ide-scsi failed
Installation failed.
Please press ENTER when you are ready to continue.
Trying again with the first debian install cd in the drive.
/kernel/drivers/scsi/ scsi_mod
Not an option, either.

Right now, I feel as if I did something seriously wrong. Would it help
to know I installed the bf2.4 kernel (wanted ext3 fs)
That should (re)load the needed modules and hopefully the
drive will come up as scsi emulated on /dev/scd0. Try
cdrecord -scanbus again. Any other cdrom-like drives
(besides hdd) will still be using the ide-cd module unless
you exclude them in the options line also.

Now that I know what to do, it's a matter of getting it done.
I have glanced at (and have bookmarked) the CD-Writing-HowTo, but it
doesn't help that the document is so large (and rather confusing in the
beginning).
