Yes, that is correct `eject <device>`.  You can specify a full path
(ie, /dev/cdrom) or a relative (ie, cdrom).

About the mounting of a CD-R(W) before burning: you shouldn't even be
able to mount it if it is blank.  If it is an RW disc and has data, then
yes, you could mount it but you wouldn't want to if you were going to
burn to it.  Trying to mount a blank disc is like trying to mount an
audio disc: it will only be painful!
