For the sake of the archives:
cdrecord needs the SCSI passthru device in the kernel in order to work
properly. I recompiled a kernel with this device and it then worked.
On a different, but related topic: sometimes brand-new CD-Rs are faulty,
and the drive will report a "not ready" error and fail to write.

to reread the man page.

Not really weird. The computer is all IDE. I recently was given an old
SCSI burner and old SCSI adapter so that's the only SCSI device in the
computer.
