Have you tried it without the hdd= parameter?  FC2 uses the 2.6
Kernel, and that appears to be unnecessary.

When your system boots, or in /var/log/dmesg (or in the output of the
dmesg command), do you see any messages similar to those shown below?

  hdc: DW-224E-A, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
  hdc: ATAPI 24X DVD-ROM CD-R/RW drive, 1658kB Cache, UDMA(33)
  Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20

I don't have an hdc= parameter in my grub config, but cdrecord still
works fine.  Not sure how -- must be some Kernel magic.  :)
