Thanks to everyone on the list for their help with the CD writing problem.
In summary, it worked just by adding the line
append="hd[x]=ide-scsi"
right before the image=.... line in /etc/lilo.conf (it was hdd= in my case since
my drive was a slave on the second IDE port). I also had to do the 'modprobe
ide-scsi' upon rebooting (I will be adding this to my startup scripts).
As far as my device it was an IDE Memorex CDRW-1622.
I also feel that this should be added to the Mandrake documentation somewhere.
As for whether it should go into a Users Guide or an Installation Guide I leave
it to others to duke it out. ;0)
Thanks again!

Subject: Re: [expert] CD writing under Linux
I definitely think there should be a section on CD-Writers in the Mandrake
documentation.
1) Mandrake comes in ISO format ready to burn
2) The CD-Writer question is always the same, it's a frequently asked
question on this list and in the newsgroups
3) It takes 10 lines to explain the solution...
