The deal is that cdrecord, the CD burning software only talks to SCSI
burners.  For IDE, somone built a delightfully perverse emulation layer
that makes an IDE drive act like a SCSI drive.  It works delightfully...
you can remove the "ide-scsi" line from lilo.conf if you really don't want
it to show up as SCSI when you're not burning...  Otherwise just use
/dev/scd0 and be happy...

If you need more than the above, try searching google?
