[mythtv-users] Converting Fedora Core dvd to ide-scsi emulation?

[Eduardo]

try "dmesg" or look at /var/log/dmesg
You should see where the system detected your DVD drive and what device
name...

ie:
    hda: WDC WD2000JB-00EVA0, ATA DISK drive
    hdb: WDC WD2000JB-00EVA0, ATA DISK drive
    hdc: CDR-CC-24, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
