That message is quite clear.  It is trying to connect to the CD device
by a name that does not exist in your /dev/ directory.  Either you do
not have the correct modules loaded or you have not configured cdrecord
to be using the correct device.

So check that you have the right modules loaded, for a start.  Then
check that you are passing the right device to cdrecord, which you can
do either using the dev= parameter or (on Debian, at least) by editing
/etc/cdrecord/cdrecord.

Try doing that as well.

And try that.  Read the documentation.  This is something that you
frequently fail to do before asking questions on the list.

Not from the evidence of your posts here.
