It probably was unable to find the SCSI generic driver
in Linux (called sg) or a suitable entry in your "/dev"
directory. To see if the sg driver is present in your
system try:
$ cat /proc/devices
Character devices:
1 mem
2 pty
3 pty
4 tts
5 cua
7 vcs
10 misc
21 sg
128 ptm
......
Character device 21 is the sg driver. If it is not there
try 'modprobe sg' as root. If it is still not there you
may need to examine the configuration of your kernel
(specifically select CONFIG_CHR_DEV_SG) and build a
new kernel. All distributions that I'm aware of come
with sg as a module (so that "modprobe" should work).
Also, with a reasonable configuration, just attempting
to open a sg device file (e.g. /dev/sg0) should
load the sg module if it is not already present.
So if the sg driver is there and you still get that
error from cdrecord then start looking at your
/dev/sg0,1,2,3... device files (or /dev/sga,b,c...)
That should look something like:
$ ls -l /dev/sg[0-2]
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 21, 0 Dec 31 1969 /dev/sg0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 21, 1 Dec 31 1969 /dev/sg1
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 21, 2 Dec 31 1969 /dev/sg2
Perhaps look at /dev/sga,b,c as well. From the output of
the kernel boot shown in your question, the device file
cdrecord should be trying to find is /dev/sg1 (or /dev/sgb).
Hope this helps.

BTW It is interesting to see that HP 9200 is up to SCSI
revision 4.
