The SCSI emulation devices are /dev/sr# 

However, you can't have compiled ATAPI cdrom support into your kernel at all
to use them.  It's an all-or-nothing deal.  You either have to go all SCSI
for them, or all IDE.

If you've got it configured correctly, you'll see the SCSI layer identifying
your IDE drives at bootup, something like:

scsi0 : SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices
scsi : 1 host.

It's not like I have 15-year-old girls
throwing their underwear at me.
I think the 15-year-old geek inside me
is still disappointed about that.
