In addition to the cdrecord examples shown earlier, you can also
simply use burncd:
# burncd -f /dev/acd0 -s max data cdr.iso fixate
But remember one thing: don't try to mix and match accesses to
/dev/acd0 and /dev/cd0. IIRC, there are (were?) some issues with
using ATAPI and ATAPICAM drivers simultaneously.
If you prefer to stick to ATAPICAM (recommended), use cdrecord
to write to the virtual device represending the burner. Use
cdrecord's -scanbus option (as root!) to find out:
phenom# cdrecord -scanbus

This would then be on that machine:
# cdrecord -v speed=8 dev=0,1,0 cdr.iso
To burn to a DVD, use growisofs, using something like this:
# growisofs -dvd-compat -speed=8 -Z /dev/cd0=cdr.iso
