[Sunhelp] CD-ROM Drive Question

[McIntire, John]

I would run ioscan -funC disk and you would be able to see the CDROM device.
I got a brain dead question for you, How do I tell what device is the CDROM
on a Sun because I am going to load patches on a 2.6 box that has none by
going to to single user mode then mounting CD and installing patches.  Do
you just goto /etc/init.d/volmgt start or mount it manually

Thanks for your help
