    The following works here (there are more ways):

    # cdrecord dev=ATA -scanbus
    ...
    scsibus1:
            1,0,0 100) 'PLEXTOR ' 'DVDR PX-712A ' '1.03' Removable CD-ROM
            1,1,0 101) *
    ...

    Anyway, I agree that the situation with removable media is not good.
    Documentation is missing and the system is not reliable.

    To make my life easier, I started to use "high" quality drives but
    even in this case I'm not 100% happy. For instance yesterday, I
    couldn't get K3b to burn a DVD-R disc (DVD+RW was OK) and I had to use
    growisofs from the command line. Moreover, one (cheap) DVD-R disc
    contained a corrupted file ... Perhaps more expensive DVD discs are
    more reliable, I'll try it later.
