There's no boot device on the SCSI chain. It doesn't need to install the
BIOS, therefore it doesn't.

You can't mount a CDR drive read write. The SCSI CD-ROM support prevents
it. To write a CD, you need a CD-writing package and SG (SCSI generic
device) support. I believe cdrutils (or something like that) and x-cdroast
is a good way to go.
