It did because it kept me pounding away at the problem. See below.

Quite so. I mangled the command line, but I only discovered that I had after
building the drivers into the kernel, including probably unnecessary
SCSI stuff. The proper kernel command line *should* be:

ide-cd=/dev/hdX

replacing ``X'' with the appropriate letter. Thus:

ide-cd=/dev/hdd

I'm dense, I suppose. It wouldn't be the first time. I'm also stubborn, so
I think I have this worked out:

# cdrecord -scanbus

And there was great rejoicing at KurtWerks.
