Yes, but writing to it is done through different mechanisms. In case of 
writing ISO images to CD-R(W) media, this is done with cdrecord, which 
accesses the hardware directly. In case of packet writing to CD-RW, which 
enables you to use the CD-RW media like a harddisk, you have to use another 
device (/dev/pktcdvd/<name>). So for both cases, specifying rw here is not 
completely wrong, but useless, since cdroms will allways be mounted ro 
anyway.

HTH...
