says something about using the bios for device access this build, but I'll
be surprised if that's it. :)

It should show up as /dev/scd0 or something very similar.

Tisn't. Darnit.

It requires CONFIG_SCSI, CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD, CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR, in the kernel .config.

The _SR one ("SCSI Reader") is for CD/DVD support.
