please read the most helpful cdwriting howto. basically, the only cd
writing supported in linux is for scsi cd writers. however, there is the
friendly ide-scsi module that will emulate scsi on an ide drive. so, after
loading ide-scsi module, the drive can be treated as a scsi drive and
written to. and in order for this module to be used, the atapi driver will
have to be disabled at boot time (so that the ide-scsi module can be used
instead). this can be done with a suitable boot time directive. like i
said, read the cdwriting howto which clearly explains how to do all this.
