I got it to work by (may be beeter ways but I don't see why RH7.1 can't do this
automatically at install)

Adding the following lines to the end of /etc/modules.conf

options ide-cd ignore=hdd # tell the ide-cd module to ignore hdd
alias scd0 sr_mod # load sr_mod upon access of scd0
pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi # load ide-scsi before sg
pre-install sr_mod modprobe ide-scsi # load ide-scsi before sr_mod
pre-install ide-scsi modprobe ide-cd # load ide-cd before ide-scsi

Type the following at the prompt:
cd /dev && rm cdrom1 && ln -s scd0 cdrom1

May need to modify /etc/fstab

Also need a util like Gnome Toaster

We have fixed this in CVS since the Fisher beta.
