Forgot to read the part about the cdr use alone. See my other post
about cd-rw.
To find out where your cdrom drive is: type
dmesg | grep hd
Your output will show where your cdrom drive is.
E.g., on my system, I get
[root@chaos sen]# dmesg | grep hd
ide_setup: hdd=ide-scsi
ide0: BM-DMA at 0x10e0-0x10e7, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:pio
ide1: BM-DMA at 0x10e8-0x10ef, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:pio
hda: QUANTUM FIREBALLP KX27.3, ATA DISK drive
hdc: MATSHITADVD-ROM SR-8584A, ATAPI CDROM drive
hdd: R/RW 4x4x24, ATAPI CDROM drive
hda: QUANTUM FIREBALLP KX27.3, 26147MB w/418kB Cache, CHS=3333/255/63
hdc: ATAPI 32X DVD-ROM drive, 512kB Cache
hda: hda1 hda2
showing I have a DVD on hdc and a R/RW on hdc
Since you only have one, I suspect yours will be hdc.
Below I assume this.
To use your cdr, put a cdrom in it, and, as root, type
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
Then,
cd /mnt/cdrom
ls
etc.
To eject the cdrom, type
umount /mnt/cdrom; eject
