Depends on what kernel you're running. If it's a 2.4 kernel, you'll need SCSI emulation - if it's a 2.6 you won't need - and probably shouldn't use - SCSI emulation.

If you're using a 2.6 kernel and cdrecord, try running:
Code:
# cdrecord -scanbus ATAPI

Be sure to run it as root.

If everything goes well that should list your CD drive and show its id. If you only have one CD/DVD drive, it will most likely be 0,0,0. The device would then be specified to 'cdrecord' as ATAPI:0,0,0. :)
