like a SCSI hard disk with the device to access the whole disk,
regardless of partitions and filesystems.

You should be able to do anything with your recognised MO Media you
could do with a HD as well: partition it with fdisk, create file systems
on the partitions (M$ speech : 'formatting') and finally mount one or
more of the newly created partitions resp. the **file systems** on them.
E. g. if you created only one primary partition with fdisk, it will be
called /dev/sda1. (fdisk will advise you to reboot after _w_ riting
the part.)
Next, you do mke2fs (or mkfs.msdos/mkfs.minix/whatever) /dev/sda1.
now you've got an empty _file system_ to mount :
mount -t ext2 (msdos/minix/etc.) /dev/sda1.
Got the difference ?
