The speed=0 looks rather sus, set it to the speed of your burner.
Most burners are specified as eg 24x10x40x which means:
                                               ^     ^    ^
speed for burning cdr--------------|      |     |
speed for burning cdrw -----------------|     |
reading speed -------------------------------|

You should have a line in your /etc/lilo.conf like this

append="hdc=ide-scsi ignore=hdc"

in mine it's below the 'vga=normal' line though I don't know if the position 
matters.

Your dev=0,1,0 should have been what was reported by 
`cdrecord -scanbus`
in my system I get :
scsibus1:
        1,0,0   100) 'LITE-ON ' 'LTR-24102B      ' '5S57' Removable CD-ROM
but that might be because I have a genuine scsi burner on scsibus0: as well.
