It comes down to that you have to call cdrecord 

previous kernel 2.4 way:

% cdrecord dev=0,0,0 <ISO-IMAGE>

new kernel 2.6 way:

% cdrecord dev=/dev/hdc <ISO-IMAGE>

So you can burn an image by hand with cdrecord. I think the problem is
that xcdroast and cdbakeoven just use the 2.4 approach and not yet the
2.6 approach.

Not sure why you cant use the 2.4 approach when you still have the
"hdc=scsi" boot option ...

Hope this helps.
