I haven't done this but I don't think it should be a big problem. You may
need some other command line switches depending on your setup and desires
but it should work something like
cdrecord -dummy dev=0,0,0 /mnt/cdrom
Thought I'd stick in the -dummy to both test it and announce the source of
this information :-)

Burning CDs, in any OS is very much sensitive to the ability of the
machine to keep the buffer full. If there's a fetch with nothing there
you lose and the disk is trash. You can solve this problem by running at
a slower speed using the -speed= option.
