Actually, now that I think about, why artificially limit which filesystems can 
be mounted from any given media?

Just because the media is optical, nothing is stopping me or anybody else from 
creating a UFS or FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, EFS, XFS, HP-UX HFS, VxFS, Apple HFS, 
ext3, or any other filesystem image and burning and/or copying that to the 
target media.

The algorithm should roughly be:

1. determine how many filesystems are on the medium

2. for each filesystem that Solaris CAN MOUNT, call the appropriate mount_ 
command, regardless of WHICH filesystem that is

In short:

a) do not artifically limit what can be mounted from which media

b) do not assume anything.
