Hammer & Screwdriver Unable to mount CD rom

hi

Am trying to mount a cdrom which has a blank cd into it, using the command:
Code:
mount -v cdrfs -o ro /dev/cd0 /mnt

Am getting this error:
Code:
# df -Ig

# mount -v cdrfs -o ro /dev/cd0 /mnt

mount: 0506-324 Cannot mount /dev/cd0 on /mnt: The device is not ready for operation.

When i changed the cd (which have something), it is mounted without any problem.

I need to burn an bootable mksysb using this drive. can anyone help me to do this please.

You mount a filesystem, not a device, the device/partition should not be mounted when you create a filesystem on it, man mkisofs for more detail
