First of all check if your cd-writer is mounted to /mnt/cdrom
A true scsi device is not recognized as IDE (of course). It probably is
seen as /dev/sda or /dev/sdb
If you can find one of those in /dev then try making a /mnt/cdr and mount
/dev/sd<what you found> /mnt/cdr and see if that works.
Strange that your kernel does not tell about the device though...
