[Sunhelp] manual mount of IDE CD-ROM on Solaris 2.6 (x_86)

[Almazan_Hector at emc.com]

	Your /dev/dsk/c1d0s0 is pointing to a different device path:
../../devices/isa/ata at 1,170/cmdk at 0,0:a.


and your CD-ROM is pointing to this path:

	 isa/ata at 170,0/cmdk at 0,0:a.

see the difference? I don't know if this is a typo error
do a ls -l on /dev/dsk and look for this link path isa/ata at 170,0/cmdk at 0,0:a.
That should be your CDROM.

hope this helps,
Hector
