Johan,

Try mounting /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s0 on /cdrom:

[tt]mount -r -f hsfs /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s0 /cdrom[/tt]

To limit the number of pseudo TTYs to 1, including the following line in /etc/system:

[tt]set pt_cnt=1[/tt]

You may also need to set the number of SunOS pseudo-ttys to 1 or 0:

[tt]set ntpy=0[/tt] Annihilannic.

Hi..
Try mount -F hsfs /dev/sr0 /cdrom

sr0 is the link to the CDROM device.

hope it helps

I can never remember what that link is called.

Oh, and by the way, I typo'd. The parameter [tt]ntpy[/tt] should read [tt]npty[/tt]. Annihilannic.

is /dev/sr0 a generic name for any cd-rom in any SUN Solaris installation? Or is it specific to Solaris x86?

It's generic for any SUN Solaris installation on a machine that has a CD-ROM drive. Annihilannic.
