can't read cdrom

[Kevin Lindeman]

On my Tibook, when installing, I had to say install-gui hdc=ide-scsi 
because i have a cd/rw. When I start up after installing, after yaboot 
where you say l for linux, at the boot: prompt, say: linux hdc=ide-scsi
That made my CD/RW Drive work, but you have to enter that in every time 
you start up.  Now I just can't get Airport to work!! Hope this helps!
