From past posts it has been determined that Supermount doesn't work.  You need
to find and install the normal mount utils (mount, umount, etc...).  CD-R's only
need SCSI emulation for the burning software and should still be mountable as an
IDE device if the emulation isn't enabled.

Check out the homepage of CDRecord and here is a good Readme for CD-R's
