 According to /usr/share/doc/wodim/README.ATAPI.setup:

 If you have just one CD writer in your computer, CD-writing should
 work out of the box. There should be a symbolic link /dev/cdrw which
 points to your actual CD-Writer's device (e. g. /dev/hdb). If the link
 is not present (eg.  the system is not using udev/devfs) or if you want
 to use a different device as default, you can configure the device in
 /etc/wodim.conf:

   CDR_DEVICE=/dev/hdd

 Surely it isn't that simple.

Normally it is.  If you are using udev, have a look at
/etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-cd.rules.  If the symlinks there are
not correct, you can edit the file to your needs.

 If I attach CD-Writer before installing etch, maybe it will be
 configured correctly.

 During boot, I see CD-Writer detected as hdb, I know it should be
 ignored and use scsi-emulation.

No, in a 2.6 kernel SCSI emulation is not necessary and even harmful.

 I just don't know how to do it.

Just don't. :-)
