Booting the system w/o ide-scsi is not "messing with it" and can't
possibly hurt anything. All you need is to leave "hdc=ide-scsi" or similar
out of a duplicate stanza in /etc/lilo.conf. Copy your normal boot stanza,
change the label, and drop the "append" for ide-scsi (or part of the
append if you have more options).

If you compile ide-cd support as a module you can leave the boot as-is and
rmmod the ide-scsi, load the ide-cd with modprobe, and do the rip.
However, you may find that another CD is desirable for other reasons, or
that ripping works better with IDE. I have noted that cdda2wav and sdd
also work better with direct ATAPI.
