That's be OK for data CD's, but *without* -ignsize !!
For bootable iso's, remove -pad -data and -ignsize, and add -dao
cdrecord -v speed=8 dev=0,0,0 -eject -dao �<iso file>
(from 'man cdrecord) -ignsize
"Ignore the known size of the medium. This options should be
used with extreme care, it exists only for debugging purposes
don't use it for other reasons. It is not needed to write disks
with more than the nominal capacity. This option implies
-overburn."
Which is always a bad idea and rarely works anyhow.
So that's an uneeded, very bad idea. A simple CL for burning
bootable iso's is
cdrecord -v -eject speed=?? dev=?,?,? -dao <iso file>
Replace the ?'s with your values. I suggest 1/3 of the lesser
of the drive or media's max speed= for bootable iso's.
'cdrecord -scanbus' will show you what to use for dev=
After burning it's very important to check the md5sum of the
burned CD. 'md5sum /dev/scd?' is the best and easiest way.
