Put in /etc/grub.conf at the kernel line for each drive you want to use
the SCSI emulation for a switch like:

hdc=ide-scsi

Be aware that with kernel 2.6 SCSI emulation for IDE devices gets
obsolete (still there the option but buggy). Actual burning software
should already be able to access IDE drives without need for the SCSI
layer.
