Installing CD-RW on suse 8.0

I'm trying to install a new plextor cd burner (Plexwriter 16/10/40A CD-RW) on 
my SuSE 8.0 system. I've followed the instructions in the support database 
but haven't had success. The instructions - briefly outlined - are:

Switch off IDE support by changing the LILO configuration - add
hda=ide-scsi to the append option of the boot loader (hda is the correct drive 
for my cd)

Load the scsi emulation by adding this line:
/sbin/modprobe ide-scsi 
to the /etc/init.d/boot.local file.

Correct settings for all IDE CD drives:
ln -sf /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrecorder
I've also tried:
ln -sf /dev/sr0 /dev/cdrecorder 
per suggestion from suse support

Add this line to fstab:
/dev/cdrecord /media/cdrecorder auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0

mkdir /media/cdrecorder

Reboot and the thing should work but when I run 
cdrecord -scanbus 
this is all I get:

which lists my real scsi drive (just the iomega) that are on my scsi adapter - 
nothing about the ide cd-rw. 

Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.
