You need ide-scsi, not just scsi. To burn a CDR/W the user
program, either cdrecord or cdrdao, sends scsi commands over the
ide interface. Have you tried the following commands as root?
# modprobe ide-scsi
# cdrecord -scanbus
If there are no errors you should be good to go.

CD Writing is one of the things that just works (unlike my
months-long struggle to set up ethernetworking). In fact the
first thing I did when I opened the box of my last CD writer was
to toss out the software CD.
