You can use X-CD-Roast or cdrdao:
copy cd to disk:
    cdrdao read-cd --read-raw --device 0,0,0 --datafile $1.bin $1.tao
copy iso-image to cd
    cdrdao write --device 0,0,0 --datafile $1.bin $1.tao

You have only to replace the 0,0,0 with the output of "cdrdao scanbus" and
$1 with the name of your image on disk. Maybee you can ommit $1.tao. I
don't know. Try it.

Hope you have configure your cd-writer as scsi emulation device?
/etc/lilo.conf with a line like:
    append="hdd=ide-scsi"
where hdd is the device of your cd-writer. And compile a kernel-module
ide-scsi.

Have fun...
