i would use this:

cdrecord -v speed=2 dev=6,0 -isosize <imagefile>

here's what the man page for cdrecord(1) says about the "isosize"
option:

-isosize
  Use the ISO-9660 file system size as the size of the next track. This
option is needed if you want to read the image of a track from a raw
disk partition or on a master CD.  In the first case the option -isosize
is needed to limit the size of the CD to the size of the ISO filesystem.  
In the second case the option -isosize is needed to prevent cdrecord
from reading the two run out blocks that are appended by each
CD-recorder in track at once mode. These two run out blocks cannot be
read and would cause a buffer under run that would cause a defective
copy.  Do not use this option if cdrecord reads the track data from
stdin.  This option currently cannot be used to determine the size of a
file system if the multi session option is present.

hope this helps...
