A few hints:
On our systems here, we have:
ls -l /dev/cdrom
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Feb 28 2001 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/sr0
for our CD-RWs
Also from ... doc/cdrtools-cdrecord-1.10/README.ATAPI:
5. In the /etc/lilo.conf file add an append line for ide-scsi, in
my case:
append = "hdc=ide-scsi hdd=ide-scsi"
And from ... doc/cdrtools-cdrecord-1.10/README.linux:
- Linux driver design oddities ******************************************
Although cdrecord supports to use dev=/dev/sgc, it is not recommended
and it is unsupported.
The /dev/sg* device mapping in Linux is not stable! Using dev=/dev/sgc
in a shell script may fail after a reboot because the device you want
to talk to has moved to /dev/sgd. For the proper and OS independent
dev=<bus>,<tgt>,<lun> syntax read the man page of cdrecord.
Hope that helps, LCR

People buy MicroShaft for compatibility, but get incompatibility and
instability instead. This is award winning "innovation". Find
