      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?
