ATAPI CD Writer installation on FC1

I've installed an ATAPI CD writer on my second IDE channel, master 
position.  I have hdc=ide-scsi as one of my kernel parameters, and the 
IDE-SCSI driver loads normally.  However, I cannot figure out how to get 
to read CDs (I'm not worried about writing as of yet).  I have tried 
setting the /dev/cdrom symlink to /dev/hdc, /dev/scd0, and /dev/sg0. 
When mounting with /dev/hdc, it refers me to mounting a SCSI device. 
With the others, it says that they are not valid block devices.  So I 
don't know what to do.  I don't know if any kernel module parameters or 
/etc/modules.conf changes need to be made.  Any help would be greatly 
appreciated!

Here is my lsmod.
