Here's a message that was sent to this list a while back and which I
used to get my cdrw working (the URL included in the message should help
you to get scsi working).

First you will have to login as root or at least su to root in a
terminal window.
Next we need to test cdrecord to make sure it is working. cdrecord is
used by XCDRoast to burn the CD.
At a terminal prompt type:
cdrecord -scanbus
This should spit back something like this:
Cdrecord release 1.8a22 Copyright (C) 1995-1999 Jvrg Schilling
scsibus1:
100) 'HP ' 'CD-Writer+ 7200 ' '3.01' Removable
101) *
102) *
103) *
104) *
105) *
106) *
107) *
If this doesn't work either cdrecord isn't in your path or you haven't
gotten SCSI emulation to work for the CD-R. There are a couple of web
pages out there on getting SCSI emulation to work. Mine is at:

If this part is working I am at a loss because XCDRoast worked great once
I got my SCSI emulation to work. Just remember that you need to
be the root user to use the CD-R for burning.
