Default Mounting cabinets on cinder block walls????

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.


A lot of it has to do with the way the cabinets are built. Really well made
cabinets could be toggle bolted directly to the wall. Several years ago I
helped install some in the basement of a church. We toggle bolted a piece of
5/4 lumber horizontally acros the wall. The back of the cabinets sits on
this and the cabinets were toggle bolted to the wall.
