I tried to do so, but the DVD drive is not listet in the IDE settings of 
YaST2, probably because of the SCSI emulation.
I had a look at the /etc/init.d/boot.idedma but found it to complex to 
put the drive in there manually within 30 seconds. And I am not sure if 
it is the right place to mess with. :-)
I just put the call to hdparm into my boot.local. Have not bootet since, 
but I think this should work.


Thank you for your assistance!
