 From /boot/grub/menu.lst

title linux
kernel (hd0,0)/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda6 devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi 
hdd=ide-scsi acpi=off quiet vga=788
initrd (hd0,0)/initrd.img

 From /etc/modules

scsi_hostadapter

 From /etc/modules.conf

probeall scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi

 From /etc/fstab

none /mnt/cdrom supermount 
dev=/dev/scd0,fs=auto,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0

IIRC, the codepage is not needed and the system moans about it.  I just 
haven't removed it yet.

HTH,
