[wplug] problems mounting blank cd-r

[bgtrio at yahoo.com]

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm getting this wrong, but I think 
there's no file system on the CD yet to be mounted.  It's just a raw disk 
with no file system at all.

You don't need to mount it in order to, for instance, run the cdrecord 
program, it just writes to the device (it actually emulates scsi if it's 
an ide drive).  Then you can mount it once you've written files to it.
