Linux has brogressed a lot in this area since cdrecord first began.
Recentl (for me) it looks like the SCSI bus scan is not reliable. But
using the standard /dev/h[abcd] could. However, you should have a link
called /dev/cdrom. Use that if it's there. Be aware that you can config
this stuff in /etc/cdrecord.conf and not have to put it on the command
line, after testing is completed.
