# mount -F hsfs -ro /dev/dsk/c#t#d#s# /cdrom

The above should do it.

Subject: [SunHELP] Mounting CDs w/o volmgt

I am trying to find the right way to mount a cdrom wihtout using volmgt
(I installed the core Solaris 8 system). I cannot find a cdrom entry in
/dev and all the instructions on SunDocs are for using volmgt.

Is it me, or does Sun make it extra hard to run their servers without
CDE or some sort of GUI? I can imagine that I will have trouble
installing Disksuite also; I only want to use the command line stuff but
it will probably require CDE or something.
