I use cdrecord. Here's an example, hopefully it will help clear it up
for you :
[first see what devices are available]
# cdrecord -scanbus
[copyright verbiage snipped]
scsidev: 'ATAPI'
devname: 'ATAPI'
scsibus: -2 target: -2 lun: -2
Warning: Using ATA Packet interface.
Warning: The related libscg interface code is in pre alpha.
Warning: There may be fatal problems.
Using libscg version 'schily-0.8'.

As you can see, I have two cd drives - a cd-rom and a cd-rw - and they
are both the slave device but on different ide channels.
[now burn the image]
# cdrecord -dao dev=ATAPI:1,1,0 foo.iso
Note that cdrecord needs write access to the device in order to burn
the disc (naturally). Either run it as root, or say "yes" when
debconf asks if you want it installed setuid.
I haven't personally had any problems with cdrecord.
Does this clarify it?
