I believe that the ide-scsi module grabs the device before the regular ide
driver does. Since you actually want to use ide-scsi for your cd writer, I
don't think you can avoid this. But I might be mistaken.
There should be no problems with having the DVD drive as a SCSI device when
it actually isn't. At least, I have never heard of this causing problems.
Anyone on the list know differently?
