Mounting CD ROM Problems

[Peter Ramsumair]

Hello,
I am trying to install patches from a patch install CD. However, I cannot seem to mount the CD ROM. I have tried the following solutions but none have worked:

1. cd /

mount /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /SD_CDROM

cd /SD_CDROM

2. fuser -cu /SD_CDROM

Kill all process on the dir
Login fresh
mount /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /SD_CDROM

Do I need to reload the kernel drivers to fix this problem? If so, how do I go about doing this?

Thanks you for your help,
Peter Ramsumair

Try the -F cdfs switch to the mount command

For more info look at man mount_cdfs

Since you didn't bother to list any of your error messages, the number of problems could be legion. However, I suspect it is as trivial as not identifying the filesystem type.

mount -F cdfs /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /SD_CDROM

You might also need to specify some options such as -o rr. Man mount_cdfs for details.
