This was required for us to use cdrecord with an IDE cd writer. If you are sure it is a SCSI cd writer, ignore the ide-scsi advice. As far as actually burning a CD, we do something like the following:
mkisofs \ -translation-table \ -joliet \ -rational-rock \ -o CD-IMAGE-NAME.iso \ DIRECTORY-CONTAINING-WHAT-YOU-WANT-TO-WRITE
cdrecord -eject -v speed=4 -isosize CD-IMAGE-NAME.iso dev=3,3,0
You will need to change the dev=x,y,z to something appropriate, the syntax is scsibus,target,lun. Try cdrecord -scanbus to find the proper values. Also change the speed=4 to something appropriate for your cd writer. There are probably gui tools which will allow you to do this easier, but I am not familiar with them (search google or freshmeat.net or the KDE or Gnome sites).
