You basically have the right idea. Use ioscan to find your CD-ROM:

root# ioscan -kfnCdisk
Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description
=======================================================================
disk 0 10/0/14/0.0.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE TEAC CD-532E-B
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0

Then create the mount point:

mkdir /cdrom

And mount the device:

mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /cdrom

Sorry, forgot the permanent part of the question.

To make it permanent, you would put an entry in /etc/fstab, not /etc/mnttab.

For temporay use like,

# mkdir /cdrom1
# mount -F cdfs /cdrom1

Permanent:

Put the entries in /etc/fstab file.

Hi Wish,

You can use the following,

# mount -F cdfs /dev/cdrom /cdrom1

You can add entry into /etc/fstab to make it permanent.

# cd /etc/init.d
# ./volmgt start

the automounter will mount the cdrom for you.
