cdrecord -scanbus reports that my CDRW is device 1,0,0. Using that device causes it to use /dev/sg0,
which is actually my HD. Passing dev=/dev/cdrw works, but k3b and other burning apps do
not use that (and cdrecord claims that this method of giving a device is not supported).
Renaming /dev/sg1 to /dev/sg0 works as well, you do not even have to override the dev passed to
cdrecord then.
Some info about my system (both HD and CDRW are SATA drives):

When I add the user parameters dev=/dev/cdrw then cdrecord uses /dev/sg1 and all is well.
