that's misleading, i think, you should use the -t flag to specify the filesystem type, and also you should specify the mount point. The example given there relies on a corresponding entry in the /etc/fstab file, does it not?
as far as i know, for GNU/Linux, you would make sure the mount point exists, eg /mnt/cdrom and if not, create it "mkdir /mnt/cdrom" then you would:
"mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc1 /mnt/cdrom"
hdc1 is the name of your device, so that can change, but that's how it is on my system, /mnt/cdrom can be any directory that exists, and the type (denoted by -t) is something you may wish to check by doing "man mount" or "man fstab" since i am saying this off the top of my head and i'm not 100% sure it's correct.

msdosfs
MSDOSFS(5) BSD File Formats Manual MSDOSFS(5)
NAME
msdosfs -- MS-DOS file system
SYNOPSIS
options MSDOSFS
DESCRIPTION
The msdosfs driver will permit the FreeBSD kernel to read and write MS-DOS based file systems.
The most common usage follows:
mount -t msdosfs /dev/ada0sN /mnt
where N is the partition number and /mnt is a mount point. Some users tend to create a /dos directory for msdosfs mount points. This helps
to keep better track of the file system, and make it more easily accessible.
It is possible to define an entry in /etc/fstab that looks similar to:
/dev/ada0sN /dos msdosfs rw 0 0
This will mount an MS-DOS based partition at the /dos mount point during system boot. Using /mnt as a permanent mount point is not advised
as its intention has always been to be a temporary mount point for floppy and ZIP disks. See hier(7) for more information on FreeBSD direc-
tory layout.
