OK, Did as suggested and changed /dev/cdrecorder to /dev/scd0.
There already was a directory , /media/cdrecorder as was suggested by
Suse and is in the fstab file as the mount prompt. Now when I do a
"mount /dev/scdo or a mount /media/cdrecorder" I get the same result
with differnt words: "mount: /dev/scd0 unknown device"

Can't get that far. "cdrecord -scanbus" produces a "No such file or
directory. Cannot open scsi driver" Although this is what I want to
do, I am trying to mount it to make sure it is recognized and to be
able to read from the drive.

Don't be sorry about being lengthy. Need any and all help I can get.
Here is the fstab composed as you have suggested. Doesn't make any
difference as stated earlier:
/dev/hdb1 / ext2 defaults 1 1
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrecorder auto defaults,noauto,user,exec 0 0
/dev/cdrom /cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
/dev/fd0 /floppy auto noauto,user 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb3 /usr ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/hda2 /windows/C vfat noauto,user 0 0
/dev/hda3 /windows/D vfat noauto,user 0 0
/dev/hda5 /windows/E vfat noauto,user 0 0
/dev/hda6 /windows/F vfat noauto,user 0 0
/dev/hdb5 /windows/G vfat noauto,user 0 0
/dev/hdb4 swap swap defaults 0 2
/dev/sda1 /mnt/usbhd auto defaults,user,noauto 0 0

Thanks, but no. Definitely have a "cdrecorder" in the /dev file.

OK, I am loading sg and ide-scsi at boot time in /rc.d/local
A cat /proc/modules shows both of them loaded.

A cdrecord -scanbus returns with a no devices reply, unless
I turn on my usb camera and then it shows the module sda and and sg
and then identifies the camera.

I think that you are probably correct. I don't see anything in dmesg
that describes hdc as a scsi drive. I have tried every possible
location and syntax for the append line in lilo.config. And yes, I
ran a lilo each time.

(could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)

I really don't know at this point. If you are asking whether I have
a cdrom 2 or not, the answer is no. I have one /dev/cdrecorder (hdc)
and one /dev/cdrom (hdd)
