May I suggest a healthy dose of the CD-Writing-HOWTO
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/CD-Writing-HOWTO.html
In a nutshell ..
As you suspected, you can't mount a blank CD because there's no
filesystem to read
Although I've heard that the newest versions of cdrecord support ATAPI,
I still use ide-scsi to keep everything happy - your drive is IDE,
cdrecord expects SCSI - ide-scsi makes this happen.
The HOWTO should iron out the juicy details :o)
