Thanks Rod, now another question: Where do I add that? Is this somthing
where I have to "make xconfig"? I want to be able to write CD's without
going to windows everytime, it's about all I use it for now!

On another note, my new job is requiring everyone in web dev to have a
dual-boot windows/linux box... : )

I see you have append="hdc=ide-scsi" which is good. However you need to
also load the ide-scsi module, i.e. "modprobe ide-scsi". The drive will
then become something like /dev/scd0, not /dev/hdc.

HTH,
