You must run modconf in your console and load the modules you need.
From the menu that will popup you must choose the modules ide-scsi, sg, 
sr_mod (you will find them under kernel/drivers/scsi).
After that edit your /etc/lilo.conf and add the line append="hdx=ide-scsi 
max_scsi_luns=1 hdy=ide-cd" after the line root=/dev/hda3. Save and run lilo.
hdx is your cdburner and hdy is your cdrom or DVD if you have it of course.

Reboot. Now your cdburner will become a "scsi" device so his name will change. 
Open a console and run: dmesg | grep scsi and look for the line that will say 
Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0 at scsi0 . . .

Edit /etc/fstab and look for the line that points to your cdburner (/dev/hdx) 
and change to the value sr0. You'd probably want to change the mount point as 
well. Point your cdburner to /mount/cdrw or /cdrw. Save and exit.

Go to / and make a directory called cdrw. Reboot and that should do it.

You might want to check this fine howto: 
http://newbiedoc.sourceforge.net/peripherals/cdrw.html, because I have 
probably left out some steps.

If you cannot find the modules you need, you'll have to build'em up. ;-))
