Hardware installation
- Make sure the regular cdrom is set to secondary master
- Install the burner device as slave on second IDE interface (hdd)
- The sound card should remain plugged into the regular cdrom
scsi emulation
- open terminal and su to root
- add "ide-scsi" to "/etc/modules"
- add "hdd=ide-scsi" to vmlinuz line in grub
setting up automount
- login as guest
- copy and paste the cdrom icon, renaming it 'cdrw'.
- edit the properties of the icon to have the URL point to 'file:///media/cdrw'.
- open a terminal, 'su' to root,
- edit the /etc/auto.removable file (the part you are interested in is down towards the bottom,
- you'll want to first remove the letters 'cd|' from the cdrom entry,
- then you'll want to copy all the lines that constitute that case entry (from 'cdrom)' to ';;'), and paste it in underneath.
- then you'll edit the new entry to say 'cdrw)' instead of 'cdrom)', and to say '/dev/hdd' instead of '/dev/cdrom'.
- execute '/etc/init.d/autofs restart'.
- double check to make sure the icon works on a data cd.
the previous instructions would be equally applicable for any second cd device.
