CD-RWs will not be in the /dev/cdroms for CD-RW write access only as a
regular CD-ROM. Write access is still through the generic scsi driver which
can be found by following your devices connection paths through /dev/scsi.
It would be something like /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/generic if the
CD-RW was on your first host card, first bus, and the first scsi id. If your
CD-RW is really a scsi, it shouldn't matter about emulation compatibilities.
I personally haven't seen an IDE CD-RW on devfs, but I would assume that
once scsi emulation was configured it would be found inside the /dev/ide
tree similar to /dev/scsi.
For cdrecord for example, to burn a cd you just call:
cdrecord dev=/dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/generic speed=[whatever]
isoimage
Of course most burning programs have a config file that you can set the
default device to once you have located it and that would be the recommended
solution.
