to mount CDROm

[laiju.c.babu]

When im trying to mount CDROm (mount /dev/dsk/c11t2d0 /cdrom) it is showing I/O ERROR.. I checked in /etc/fstab here there is no entry for cdrom..

What is your OS? What is on the CD?

Just in case it is hp-ux and the cd-rom is bootable, try

mount -r /dev/dsk/c11t2d0 /cdrom

What is the result of 'ioscan -fnC disk'

mount -o rr,cdcase /dev/xxx

LINUX
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /cdrom

Tru64 UNIX
mount -r /dev/rz?c /cdrom
or
mount -r -t cdfs -o rrip /dev/rz?c /cdrom
where [?] is the CD-ROM SCSI ID (usually 4)

SGI IRIX
mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/cd0 /cdrom

Sun SOLARIS 2.6, 7, 8 and 9
without vold: mount -r -F hsfs /dev/cd0 /cdrom
