cdrecord will grok dev=/dev/cd0d or similar just fine. (Give it the
block device, not the character, or raw, device, and, presuming
you're on i386, give it the "whole disk" partition, d.)

With regard to the Windows (or MacOS, for that matter) world,
Adaptec's products (I'm speaking mostly from MacOS Toast here, but
I'm pretty sure Easy CD Creator is basically the same deal) will
need you to set some "bootable CD" flag in a menu option somewhere
if you actually want your BIOS to see the CD and boot from it.
(Perhaps the options dialog for the new image.)
