  either should work. if you are running the volume manager then a volcheck
should force it to probe for the cdrom and mount it. if you want/need to 
mount it manually you'll just need to know which target the cdrom drive is.
(if it is scsi the default in solaris is generally scsi id of 6, dmesg should
help you determine your drive device at any rate.)
