Hope you use a IDE CDwriter and /dev/cdrom is a symlink to
/dev/scd0. In that case do this.
# modprobe ide-scsi
Now give a try. Your problem will be solved.
As a permanent solution add this to /etc/modules.conf
alias scd0 sr_mod # load sr_mod upon access of scd0
alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi # SCSI host adaptor emulation
options ide-cd ignore=hdc # if /dev/hdc is your CD-writer
