How? /dev/hdd or /dev/scd0 ?

It should, at least it does on my system.

That is possible, but it would be more sufficient to find the mistake first.
Did I understand correctly that ide-scsi is in the kernel (not module)?
I think you have cdrecord as well, as xcdroast is only a frontend.
What happens if you do cdrecord -scanbus ?
What if you do that as root?
