Getting CDRW to work in Debian

[Walter Dnes <waltdnes@waltdnes.org>]

  I have a DVD (hdc) and a CDRW (hdd) on a machine.  The only defined
mount is /cdrom, which is actually the DVD.  In Redhat, I simply added
append="hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi" to lilo.conf, ran lilo and re-boot
and both of them worked as did cdrecord.  This does not work in Debian
(2.4.18-bf2.4).  Further Googling suggested that I add a line to
modules.conf.  Looking at modules.conf, I saw dire warnings against
manual editing, and that I was to use update-modles instead.  According
to the manpage, I'm supposed to create a file in /etc/modutils.  There
are, however, no examples whatsoever.  Can somebody who's gotten a
similar setup running please post their files? Thanks.

  Alternatively, there's supposed to be undocumented native support for
ATAPI devices in cdrecord; has anybody figured that out?
