burncd issues

Hey all,

This is the first time I've tried burning CDs or DVDs from freebsd.  I have 
read through what I thought was the pertinent information on the archives and 
typed the following command to burn a simple pdf file (an old email from the 
KDE print system, which is readable from the hard drive) to the CDRW drive on 
my laptop:

# burncd -f /dev/acd0c -s max data /home/user/email-test.pdf fixate

The cdrw drive works for a few seconds, I get some output from burncd that 
indicates everything is OK and I eject the CDR, noting the burned tracks that 
are visible with the right reflection of light.

However, I get the following error when I try to execute the following two 
commands:

# mount -t cd9660 /dev/acd0c /cdrom
or
# mount /cdrom

Output: cd9660: /dev/acd0c: Invalid argument

Is there a different option I should give burncd or mount?  Please let me 
know.  Also, from 4.9, are there any other major issues I should know about 
burning a DVD?  5.x?

TIA
