Is your DVD/CD burner recognized by cdrecord? Try

    cdrecord -scanbus

as root, and it should show something like

root at cassini / # cdrecord -scanbus
scsibus0:
         0,0,0     0) '_NEC    ' 'DVD_RW ND-2500A ' '1.06' Removable CD-ROM
         0,1,0     1) *
         0,2,0     2) *
         0,3,0     3) *
         0,4,0     4) *
         0,5,0     5) *
         0,6,0     6) *
         0,7,0     7) *

(Above output is from a suse90, but it should look allmost like this. I
don't have a FC2 box here right now)
