Anne's point is right here, and this is also what's causing you problems here.
You can specify the device by name now, which can make your life a lot easier.
Even better, the default is stored in a config file (/etc/cdrecord.conf), and
FC2 normally gets it right.  This means you'd expect:

cdrecord foo.iso

to work.

If it doesn't try

cdrecord -dev=/dev/hdc

where hdc should be replaced by whatever device your DVDR is or show us the
output of cdrecord -scanbus.

Ignore this step.
