Can't get cdrecord program to find scsi device

Try passing dev option to cdrecord.
By passing dev=help, it shows a list of possible values.

Do you really have a SCSI cd recorder? If not, you need to use /dev/cdrom

This is how I usually call cdrecord:
$ cdrecord -v speed=24 dev=/dev/cdrom driveropts=burnfree image.iso

In English, that means write image.iso on the cdrom located at /dev/cdrom with the buffer underrun protection, and be verbose (-v).

Thanks for the suggestion. I was thrown off by the cdrecord -scanbus command
which I used on other older distros to check operation of cdrecord. I guess
the new 2.6 kernel doesn't require scsi simulation to use ide cd burners. We
used to have to specify (eg. dev=0,0,0). On this distro, that isn't
required. I guess cdrecord detects /dev/hdc and uses it.

Many thanks!
