I made it, thanks for your help.

This didn't work for me in this way.
There are four modules to be used:
ide-cd, sg, ide-scsi, sr_mod
ide-cd and sr_mod are already compiled into the kernel (that's why I need
to write append ... to my lilo.conf)
So, ide-scsi couldn't be loaded because ide-cd has to be loaded first.
And ide-cd couldn't be loaded because it's compiled into the kernel.
Therefore, I am only allowed to add line
pre-install sg modprobe ide-scsi # load ide-scsi before sg
into modules.conf
This is not clear in the CD-Writing Howto. I will contact the author of
this document in order to enter these details.

It turned out that that's not necessary.
Both modules are loaded dynamically when I call cdrecord. Acctually I
don't know why? Any explaination?

I used cdrecord on my SuSE system, so I have all the scripts necessary to
burn data cds faster than with any GUI.
At SuSE it was just ready to use (almost), but I have learned some new
things this way.
Once again, thank you for your help. Your reply was like a small HowTo and
very detailed.
