How to mount oracle media on HPUX PA-Risc L-class v11i

[orasrv4:/SD_DVD]# model
9000/800/L1500-7x
[orasrv4:/SD_DVD]# uname -a
HP-UX orasrv4 B.11.11 U 9000/800 1755927601 unlimited-user license
[orasrv4:/SD_DVD]#

According to the quick installation guide for Oracle 10g media (page 32) we should use the following command for HP-UX PA-RISC:
#/usr/sbin/mount -F cdfs -o rr /dev/dsk/cxtydz /SD_DVD

However the -o rr option is not known.

Do I need to install patches to get this option supported or do I use a different method ? Is pfs_mount still used for Oracle 10g ?

When I just mount without the -o rr it mounts the media, but then the directories are not useable e.g.
[orasrv4:/SD_DVD]# ll

Oh, by the way for those of you who are not aware the -o rr stands for rock ridge.

Thanks for your input:

Sorry for the late reply - a system without rock ridge option? The patch is 5 years old now!

The normal mount command should work then, and it's saver than the old pfs_mount.
