Really? I've never heard of that and I can't imagine that working at
all. If you really must use the command line to do it, then cdrecord
was the tool to use, now called (or replaced by) wodim. But the
"cdrecord" name still works.
Same thoughts here. One could use /dev/cdrom, which should be a link to
/dev/sr0, for reading and creating an ISO image, but not for setting up
the device to burn discs "magically".
