    The command you're looking for is 'cdrecord'. First, you do this (as root):

    # cdrecord -scanbus

    which should produce something like:

    scsibus1:
         1,0,0 100) 'SONY ' 'DVD RW DRU-500A ' '2.0c' Removable CD-ROM

    Then to burn,

    # cdrecord dev=1,0,0 some_iso_image.iso

    and all should be good. You may want to play with the speed=
    option. If I'm having issues with buffer underflows, I might do this:

    # cdrecord dev=1,0,0 speed=4 some_iso_image.iso

    speed=4 may not be the best, but it is a nice, safe number.

I am BOFH. Resistance is futile. Your network will be assimilated.
