[SunHELP] Unable to mount a Solaris CD ROM

[DAUBIGNE Sebastien - BOR]

You asked for the wrong FS type. The correct FS type for a CDR is hsfs =
(High
Sierra File System).

NFS stands for Network File System (i.e. file system on a remote =
hosts).

You also gave the wrong device, use something like cxtydzsn instead of
c1d0s2. Usually the CDROM is at c1t6d0s2.

Hence the right command is :

mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/dsk/c1t6d0s2  /cdrom

type c1d0s2

	Objet:	[SunHELP] Unable to mount a Solaris CD ROM

	Hi,

	I am trying to install Oracle Enterprise 8.0.5 on my Sun Ultra-5
server -
	running Solaris 2.6

	Each time I use the File Manager to access the CDROM in the drive, I
see
	files listed from an earlier CD ROM. How do I refresh the CDROM. I
have
	tried mounting the CD ROM using:

	# mount -F nfs -o ro /dev /dsk/c1d0s2  /cdrom

	and I receive the following message:

	 nfs  mount: nfs file system; use host:path

	which I do not understand. Can you recommend somewhere where I can
learn how
	to mount / unmount CD's or any info on installing applications on
Solaris
	servers.   I ran the  #cat /dev/vfstab to identify the CDROM dsk
info.

	Thanks,
	Phil
