hello. i suppose that your scsi/emulation stuff is not set up correctly. have you really loaded all neccessary modules (have a look again at the cdwriting howto section 2.1.3; -> ide-cd,ide-scsi,scsi_mod,sr_mod,sg)? if that is the case cdrecord -scanbus should definitely work (it has nothing to do with your fstab stuff).
