This only works for version 2.0.x kernels.  For version 2.2.x, you have to
do a little something different, well, at least on mine. =)

Yep... do this.  If not, here's the excerpt from the CD-Writing HOWTO
faq, this is what you need configured in your kernel:

I'm using kernel 2.2.12 and for the SCSI stuff, I built them all as
modules, especially the SCSI cdrom support because I have a regular
ATAPI/IDE CDROM as well and I didn't want that to be recognized as a SCSI
drive.

Now, to get them to be recognized.  Now, you need to check to find out
what device name has been given to the CDRW Drive. 

Then, in the local startup script, I had entered:
