I started with google and knew that I didn't want to try passing kernel
parameters like hdc=ide-scsi and couldn't find it but wasn't sure where
to go with it.
Turns out... dev=ATAPI:0,0,0
was the answer. Added it to both /etc/webmin/burner/config and
to /etc/cdrecord.conf to be safe but from cli, I only needed to pass the
dev as above, once addded to /etc/cdrecord.conf, I didn't need to bother
and in webmin's config, it works fine.
Thanks all
Craig
