I'm not sure this is possible (I.e., restarting with the burner connected and on) because my CDRW is the one that's built-in (internal) shipped with Apple. There's no way that I know of to toggle this internal CDRW on or off. I did try restarting my machine and then tried again with cdrecord on the command line, but no luck.
I used the Apple System Profiler and the feedback on the internal CD burner (also a DVD ROM) is as follows:
CD-RW/DVD-ROM:I wonder if this is the same CD burner / DVD ROM that Apple ships with iBooks?

Any suggestions on how to get cdrecord to recognize the internal beasts that ship with Apple hardware?
Would it be a good idea to contact the author of cdrecord to see if he has any suggestions?
Also, I did note that in the cdrecord man page, it states the following at the top of the man page:
Cdrecord is used to record data or audio Compact Discs on
an Orange Book CD-Recorder.
I wonder what is meant by an "Orange Book" CD recorder?

OS X sometimes does not load the drivers for the burner correctly, I dont know why but it happens to me a lot. Try restarting with the burner connected and on and it should work fine, even if you reconnect it. We should really send bug reports to apple. :-/TOC Type: 1 = CD-ROM

cdrecord: For possible targets try 'cdrecord -scanbus'. Make sure you are root.
