Sept Support Plus CD - can't read it?

[Tim Killinger]

Anything I'm doing wrong? ? Place Sept 2003 support plus CD for UX 11.0 in the cd.... (it's brand new).

mount -r /dev/dsk/c1t15d0 /cdrom

and get:

/dev/dsk/c1t15d0: unrecognized file system

This is an HP CD.... I tried it on 2 different CD drives on 2 different systems.

I ran swinstall and tried to find the cdrom... it finds it but says "The depot "icgstrn1:/SD_CDROM" exists but is currently empty"

what happens if you try
mount -F cdfs -o rr dev/dsk/c1t15d0 /cdrom

replace rr with appropriate type (rr=rockridge)

Well, the first thing that might be wrong is that you are trying to mount on something other than a cdrom drive. To get that out of the picture do an
ioscan -C disk -fn

Next, let's see if any of them those rascally pfs varmints is around:
ps -ef | grep pfs
If any are found, kill 'em dead.

Next, the mount command should be nothing more than this:
mount -F cdfs /dev/dsk/c1t15d0 /cdrom

If this fails (and since you've tried on different boxes) then you probably have bad media and need to request a replacement CD.
