Don't disable it, modularise it. Then you can use it if you really need
to. (cdparanoia used to not work with IDE scsi, they finally fixed that
so I guess that point is moot...) Don't forget SCSI CDROM support as
well, along with vendor specific extentions.

And to make ide-scsi autoload all slick like, add to /etc/conf.modules:

alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi

You'll want to use all your cdroms through ide-scsi from now on. They'll
show up on /dev/scd0, /dev/scd1, etc, change your fstab accordingly...
