OK, the problem is that ide-probe isn't loaded at this point in time
so there is nothing for ide-scsi to use.  Perhaps this is something
that modprobe could do by default.

Try

pre-install ide-scsi modprobe -k ide-probe-mod

Thanks Herbert - that seems to have worked. I get an error early in the boot process where it reports that 'ide-scsi' is not available but when it works out later on and the CDRW is identified as a device on scsi1. Also, is there any way to get rid of these warning messages that tell me that modules.conf is newer than modules.dep?

Now all I have to do is solve the problem of the soundcard module not loading at boot despite being in /etc/modules and working just fine when insmod is run on it after I've logged in...
