In order to try and get cdrecord working I tried a couple things. This is
what I did in case I need to back out.

Below are the changes to the system I made for cdrecord

1) insmod ide-scsi
2) modprobe ide-scsi
3) edited the /etc/fstab and commente out the cdrom lines
4) edited the /etc/auto.misc file and commented out the cdrom lines

As it  turns out cdrecord was written for an Orange Book CD-recorder
It might work with a yamaha also. Apps like xcdroast support mostly
SCSI devices not IDE burners.

Before you use cdreocord you still have to
create a iso9660 file image
shell% mkisofs -l -L -J -T -r -o Mac_volume_image ./Mac_volume

options:
-l
-L
-J
-T
-r
-o



mount the newly iso9660 file image to test layout
shell% mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop=/dev/loop0 /home/gkeen/Mac_volume_image
/mnt/cdrom


Send iso9660 imag to burner

shell% cdrecord -scanbus

shell% cdrecord -v speed=4 dev=x,x,x -data  cd_image



What I ended up doing was.....
1) creating the iso image with mkisofs under linux
2) mounting the DOS partition under linux and copying the iso image
to the DOS partition 
3) then booting into windows
4)and using the windows app to burn the CD.
