I dont like to use pfs but you can start the following services:

root 23987 23985 0 10:51:12 pts/tb 0:00 pfs_mountd.rpc
root 24027 12430 1 10:51:16 pts/tb
root 23985 1 0 10:51:12 pts/tb 0:00 pfs_mountd
root 23986 1 0 10:51:12 pts/tb 0:00 pfsd
root 23988 23986 0 10:51:12 pts/tb 0:00 pfsd.rpc

then:

pfs_mount -o xlat=unix /dev/dsk/cxtxdx /cdrom

Hi Karl,

pfs_mount
mount

are the commands to mount a CDROM, like all filesystems. So if you want to mount a CDROM we have to find what's going wrong.
What commands did you already try (with what options)?

mount -o rr /dev/dsk/cXtXdX /
(cXtXdX is your device file)

What does it obtain?

Best regards,
Fabio

PFS is obsolete and should not be used on any production server. If you are running 11.00 or later, get the RockRidge patches for your version and then use the -orr option so you can see the POSIX filenames. Otherwise, all you'll see is the ISO9660 directory which is always 8.3 with ;1 after every file.

I have tried the rr option
mount -o rr /dev/dsk/c?t?d?s? /cdrom

I know its to-do with the 8.3 format .. I guess I could try renaming it when its on the system?

any throughts ?

The important thing is, what format did you use during the burning process. The real ISO 9660 supports just 8.3 filenames. But there are extensions to support long filenames, the Microsofts Joliet and on Unix used RockRidge. The CD can contain both. Of course, if RockRidge is missing, you can't see long names on Unix.

Hi Karl,

Follow the suggestion indicated by "Dasaradharamaraju" , I have got it working always using the "-o cdcase" option.
