    Its not as simple as that if you happern to not be using ide for any 
of your hard disks... If you have ide loaded as a module this will not 
work. The cd-writing howto was of some use.... And eventually thats what 
worked ie telling the ide-cd module to ignore the cd as to why it did 
not work in the first place I don't know.....
    Most people are not in this position but it does happern.
