Don't know that this will be much help, but where I outlined my Mondo 
use in the thread "mondo 1.67" you'll note how I referred to my DVD unit as:

cdrecord-wrapper.sh -v -dao dev=/dev/hdd:1,2,0 fs=16m speed=1 
/home/mondo/images/<each iso in turn>

I have both an internal  CD unit and DVD unit on my P4 box.  The wrapper 
script that came with cdrecord-ProDVD just passes along the same 
parameters as cdrecord expects and unlocks DVD writing.  It complains 
about my "device" reference and says I should fool it with the scsi bit, 
but such isn't necessary anymore.

I don't remember exactly how I came up with the ":1,2,0" bit at the 
moment and "she who must be obeyed" is busy playing cards on the P4 box 
right now, so maybe someone can fill that in.
