I remember it's mentioned in the latest version of CD-writing HOWTO.
I've upgraded to kernel 2.2.12. So all I need to do is to have
append = "hdc=ide-scsi"
in my lilo.conf .

I believe that it's different for some earlier version. Check more
carefully on the HOWTO for more detailed instructions. It's possible
that you might have to recompile the kernel to have the cdrom driver
as a module. I'm not totally sure. But the easiest way to go is probably
get the more latest kernel from your distributor..

I hope that it helps :).
