Default Mounting cabinets on cinder block walls????

There is a method of hanging cabinets that uses what is called a
french cleat. I would fasten the french cleat the wall with
either Tapcons or "Naiins" (

Google for french cleat, but there is a fair explanation at

My son is doing an eagle scout projects that requires mounting
cabinets
on a cinder block wall. What is the best way to get this
accomplished?
Do we need to mount a board to the wall first or can we simply
use
masonary screws and mount the cabinets directly to the wall?
Any ideas
are appreciated.
