cdrecord question

[Igor Gueths]

Hi. Ide_scsi=y CONFIG_SCSI=y. I don't see why I would need Scsi Cdrom
support, because both my Cdrom and Cdrw drives are both ide/atapi.
According to the Cd writing howto, I had to pass hdd=ide-scsi to the scsi
emulation driver. As a result, my Cd burner appears as a device in
/proc/scsi/scsi. However, cdrecord says that it can't open scsi driver
when I
use /dev/sg0? I am currently only doing everything as root for testing
purposes, then I'll deal with the users once I get it working. Also, does
CONFIG_CHR_SG refer to generic scsi character devices, not scsi Cdroms?
