Is your CD-R a SCSI CD-R? I don't think so.
It sounds to me like you have IDE SCSI emulation installed -- you need
this to make your CD-R work in Linux. This is what is fooling XCDRoast
into seeing your CD-R drive, and also the reason you can't mount it.
You need to find exactly what block device the CD-R is appearing as.
