I think you have a rx6600, rx3600 or rx2660 - the drive is USB connected and this is the new style of the device file.

mount /dev/deviceFileSystem/Usb/MassStorage/dsk/disk@hp-1008+294=A60020000001 /cdrom

if /cdrom is your mount point.

To make it simple create a link (e.g. /dev/cdrom)

and use

mount /dev/cdrom /cdrom

in future.

wha! I thought it won't work with such output format. thx very much for your help

I recently found the first document about the topic:

http://www.docs.hp.com/en/7407/DevFSUsersGuide.pdf

According to chapter 3 Mounting the Device File System you can also do a

# devfs start

to get it mounted.

Not sure if I understand all of the content of this doc (e.g. "Greater user friendliness..." in "Summary of Benefits")
;-)

I have currently no system to test, it would be nice to see your results.
Not sure if there is a man page for the devfs command, the docs.hp server doesn't list any.
