The simplest way is to pass the following boot option to the kernel
(in /etc/lilo.conf if you use lilo):
hdd=ide-scsi
(if /dev/hdd is your cd writer).
If you really want to switch to SCSI emulation, just disable
'IDE/ATAPI CDROM support' (in the 'IDE, ATA and ATAPI block devices' menu),
and don't forget to enable SCSI CDROM and SCSI generic support.
