If you can't see CD from Xcdroast then I am assuming your kernel is not compiled correctly. If I remember correctly you will need scsi-ide compiled
into the kernel.
Use dmesg| more to verify whether scsi-ide is in.
Note that if scsi-ide is in as well as atapi-cdrom support, atapi-cdom will load in first (I am quoting kernel documentation here). This means that
scsi-ide is useless with atapi-cdrom compiled in at the same time.
Cdrecord would be your tool of choice if you would like to burn your cds using CLI.
cdrecord parameters will depend on your hardware configuration, capabilities, etc.
man cdrecord for more, and there is a howto on www.tldp.org.
