Sorry for the delay, I just got around to fixing this.

I did 3 things to fox my cdrw to work with 2.6:

1.  I removed  append="hdc=ide-scsi" from my lilo.conf (leaving other
    append info in place) and reran lilo.

2.  I changed references in /etc/fstab from /dev/sr0 to /dev/hdc

3.  I made sure by s/w of choice (xcdroast) was aware the device name of
    the cdrw had changed.  In my case this just meant getting it to
    autodetect the device.

I just burned a cd as proof of concept (and cause I needed to burn one
anyway :)
