Same thoughts here. One could use /dev/cdrom, which should be a link to
/dev/sr0, for reading and creating an ISO image, but not for setting up

Michael, Michael...
I have no idea what you mean by ' burn discs "magically" '
Who said anything about magically.
*I* did, because since "dd" doesn't know anything about the underlying
hardware it talks to, it would need to be the device driver to configure
the hardware for writing, setting writing speed, buffering options,
detecting media and its writing speed range and not finalising the write
on end.
The safe cmdline way for burning discs has been "cdrecord" for many
years.
It may be that "dd" could write to special preformatted discs and possibly
with hardware and media that would work together by default. I don't think
it has ever been a fully supported method.
Look what this guy found out in Nov 2015.

Somewhere at the bottom find an example of writing to /dev/sr0 with "dd"
after taking several hurdles.
dd does not HAVE to know ANYTHING about the layout.
The layout is the format of the iso file which was created by the fedora
project for f24 desktop release.
I am amazed at the lack of technical knowledge on the part of every
respondent to this problem.
