How many times did you press Ctrl-C, just once? cdrecord will try and
do some cleanup after being interrupted during a burn, but that stage is
mostly skipped if you send a second Ctrl-C.

Last time I checked, cdrecord's drive reset doesn't work on Linux, at
least for ATAPI drives. I guess that the cleanup cdrecord tried to do
required a device reset, which probably did not work, and resulted in
the drive being left in a busy state.

Ask the author for a well-behaved cdrecord. ;-) He'll probably just
tell you to "upgrade" to Solaris though.
You could try resetting the drive using sg_reset from the sg3_utils
package. The only problem with that is I suspect you won't be in a
position where you can detach the IDE CD driver and load the ide-scsi
and sg modules.
