CDROM Mounting Problem from a Sun Newbie

[MikeAndersen]

I'm running into a problem with a cross-platform CD I'm trying to burn that I've never seen before. We burn the CD with a volume like name "MYDISC", and when we insert the disc into, a Mac or a Linux box, the disc mounts up as "MYDISC". But when we put the disc in the Sun box (Ultra 10) the disc mounts as "mydisc#1". This poses a serious problem because the CD has HTML links on it and Netscape can't find any of the files. The error is "Netscape is unable to find the path /cdrom/MYDISC/index.html" The CD also has java classes and their paths are also invalidated.

I'm using relative links on everything, including a shell script we use for launching the java app, so the mount name shouldn't matter, but regrettably it does. No other OS we've tried does this. Can anyone help me understand why Solaris is doing this? Is it a sun configuration issue or is it possible a disc format issue?

We're using a Joliet HFS Rockridge format for cross-platform compatibility.

Here's exactly what machine/os I'm using, if that's helpful:

SUNW, Ultra-5_10;sparc;sun4u
256 Megs of ram
SunOS 5.8 Generic
CDE 1.4.2 x11 Version 6.4.1

TIA,

Mike

I think you need ISO format for the CD to be read by Solaris.
