What exactly is your problem?
Do you have SCSI-Emulation enabled?
In your boot parameters? in your etc/modules.conf?
What /dev is your CD-RW?
If it is e.g. /dev/hdb you need to SCSI-emulate 'hdb=ide-scsi'
If you cannot access it at all you maybe made a wrong entry in
/etc/fstab ??.

Here is from my system:

(etc/fstab)

/dev/hda4	/		reiserfs	defaults 1 1
/dev/hda2	/boot		ext2	defaults 1 2
/dev/cdrecorder	/media/cdrecorder	auto	rw,noauto,user,exec 0 0
/dev/cdrom	/media/cdrom	auto	ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0
devpts		/dev/pts	devpts	defaults 0 0
/dev/dvd	/media/dvd	auto	ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0
/dev/fd0	/media/floppy	auto	noauto,user,sync 0 0
proc		/proc		proc	defaults 0 0
/dev/hda1	/windows/C	vfat	noauto,user 0 0
/dev/hda3	swap		swap	defaults 0 0

(etc/modules.conf)

(.....)
# Aliases - specify your hardware
alias eth0             off
alias eth1             off
alias tr0              off
alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi
alias scsi_hostadapter advansys
alias usb-hostadapter  usb-ohci-hcd
alias fb0              off
(.....)

The SCSI hostadapter advansys is from my scanner's SCSI card, don't
worry about that. /dev/cdrecorder must be a symlink to your CD-RW
device, in my case it points to /dev/scd0 which is the SCSI ID of the
CD-RW after SCSI emulation.

So, just check these things and come back with further details then.

Cheers ...Wolfi
