This is not correct. It depends on whether your cdrw is scsi or
ide. If it is scsi, nothing special needs to be done. If it is ide,
you need to emulate a scsi drive.
If your ide cdrw is at /dev/hdc,
then put the line
append="hdc=ide-scsi"
in your /etc/lilo.conf file after the 'root= . . ' line.
If your ide cdrw is at /dev/hdd,
then put the line
append="hdd=ide-scsi"
Then, type
/sbin/lilo
Also, in your /etc/rc.d/rc.local file, add the line
modprobe ide-scsi
Once this is done, type
lsmod
You should see something like
ide-scsi 7520 0
in the output.
Then, type
cdrecord -scanbus
You should see output like:
root@chaos sen]# cdrecord -scanbus

This means that your system finds the CDRW at scsi address 0,0,0
On my system, cdrecord then worked fine. I don't remember if xcdroast
also worked.
Also, this is on a stock Mandrake-6.1 system with kernel-2.2.13-7mdk
