It will work with IDE drives as well. Boot without "hdc=ide-scsi"
and then run "cdrecord -scanbus" to see what device numbers. The
version on FC5 will also work with dev=/dev/hdc instead of
dev=1,0,0. For may laptop, I have to use hdc=noprobe to have DMA
work correctly on the drive. (SATA drives.) If you use hdc-noprobe
instead of hdc=ide-scsi, you will still need to change what VMWare
is using as the CD drive to something like /dev/scd0.
