For SCSI emulation to work properly, you need three components:

1) SCSI emulation support in the Linux kernel
2) SCSI CD support in the Linux kernel
3) hdx=ide-scsi in the kernel paramaters

You have the SCSI emulation compiled in your kernel already so you probably 
have SCSI CD support too. To modify the kernel parameters, you can add

append="hdx=ide-scsi"		(replace hdx by your IDE CD device, hda, hdb, hdc or 
hdd)

in /etc/lilo.conf if you use lilo as your boot loader (man lilo.conf for more 
information). Don't forget to run lilo after.
