Of course not. A blank CD or DVD media does not contain a file system, therefore it cannot be mounted. In order to create a file system, use the appropriate tool (cdrecord, cdrdao, growisofs). Afterwards, you can mount the (usually finished) media like any previously burned CD or DVD. On optical media, usually "cd9660" (typically with the RockRidge extension) is being used, but UDF is also becoming more and more popular. Basically, you can create any file system type (for example UFS) on optical media, or use no file system at all (write data as-is, for example tar archives). -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
