Does anyone knows how to mount a cdrom in SCO UNIX?

 

[PHV]

mount -r /dev/cd0 /mnt

[orbiton]

would it work if I try
mount -r /dev/cd0 /cdrom

 

[edfair]

yes, provided the mount point exists

Give the wrong symptoms, get the wrong solutions.

But if it still doesn't work, it's because the cdrom isn't in the kernel or is wrongly identified (it's master on secondary but the system thinks it's slave on primary, etc):

mkdev cdrom will take care of that, or you can just edit /etc/conf/cf.d/mscsi directly and relink.

# mount -r /dev/cd0 /cdrom
UX:mount: ERROR: File system type cannot be determined
# mount -r /dev/cd0 /mnt/cdrom
UX:mount: ERROR: File system type cannot be determined
# mount -r /dev/cd0 /mnt

file /etc/conf/cf.d/mscsi
/etc/conf/cf.d/mscsi:
UX:file: ERROR: cannot open /etc/conf/cf.d/mscsi: No such file or directory[/Qoute]

 

[KenCunningham]

Are you including the colon ) at the end of this command or does it just look like it?

 

[orbiton]

Am not including : at the end of it.
the is the command as I type it file /etc/conf/cf.d/mscsi
BTW when i typue Uname -a i get OpenUNIX james 5 8.0.0 i386 x86at Caldera UNIX_SVR5. Caldera is the same as SCO as sure, if nte then am sorry for misleading you all

I have resolve it.

[ul][li] cd /dev/cdrom[/li]
ls -als[/li]
   0 brw-rw-rw-    2 root     sys      114,  0 Dec  6  2002 c3b0t0l0
   0 brw-rw-rw-    2 root     sys      114,  0 Dec  6  2002 cdrom1
[li] I then selected c3b0t0l0 [/li]
[li] I then type mount -r /dev/cdrom/c3b0t0l0 /CD-ROM_1[/li]
It will only mount on a know mount /CD-ROM_1
[li] you will get cdfs (ISO-9660 format)[/li]
I think you can specify -cdfs, I stand to be corrected[/ul]

Thanx to all that helped
