The scsi emulation is for cdburners, is this what you were setting up the
ide-scsi emulation for?

you shouldnt have to change the mount point for anything, you should just
have to use the SCSI address for the drive in your burner software. i.e.
0,0,0

does the drive show up under a scanbus?

cdrecord -scanbus
