Bollocks, you just haven't read the documentation properly.  Have a look
in /usr/share/doc/cdrecord/README.ATAPI.setup, in the section about 2.6
kernels.  You should be able to find out what name cdrecord needs to be
given to access your cdrom by running "cdrecord dev=ATA: -scanbus".
Then you can configure cdrecord properly by setting the CDR_DEVICE line
in /etc/cdrecord/cdrecord to "CDR_DEVICE=ATA:n,n,n" where n,n,n is the
device indicator returned by the previous command.
