To burn CD's you need to have scsi emulation compiled into your kernel.

This is in the IDE Devices section in the advanced architecture tab. My advice is to use a module -- it is called ide-scsi and works wonders.

Also you will need to pass the option
hdc=ide-scsi
to your bootloader so that the device is correctly initialised, use the appropriate device in place of hdc

Then from a prompt issue
cdrecord -scanbus

You should get something like this
Code:
Cdrecord 2.0 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2002 Jörg Schilling
Linux sg driver version: 3.1.24
Using libscg version 'schily-0.7'
scsibus0:
        0,0,0     0) 'LITE-ON ' 'LTR-40125S      ' 'ZS0N' Removable CD-ROM
        0,1,0     1) 'E-IDE   ' 'DVD-ROM DVD-8210' '221L' Removable CD-ROM
        0,2,0     2) *
        0,3,0     3) *
        0,4,0     4) *
        0,5,0     5) *
        0,6,0     6) *
        0,7,0     7) *


If you dont then something is still wrong (try running cdrecord again).
