Hi Lingling,

When you ran "ioscan" did you include "-funC disk"?
This will show the proper device file to use.

If you find it is "/dev/dsk/c0t2d0" and still busy,
you can use the "fuser" command to find the process id of the process that is using the device.

"fuser" can also be used to kill the process that is attached to the device, check the man page.

Once the process has been removed, you should be able to mount the CD.

Hope this helps.

Here are the steps
ioscan -fn (It will take little longer)
insf -ev (to install special file)
ioscan -funCdisk

mount /dev/dsk/c?t?d? /cdrom

Hi Lingling,

It first of all looked like you never managed to make the /cdrom directory, as you should have used mkdir /cdrom, as opposed to mk /cdrom.
However this would have given you a different error message, such as
mount: /cdrom: No such file or directory
I think, that you successfully made the directory, or it was already there, but perhaps you issued a #cd /cdrom
to check and didn't come out before you issued the mount.

Try your mount again from the root directory

Good Luck
Queenie

thanks for the help everyone given to me.
I'm really appreciated.

at begaining, I can't figured out why I can mount the CD-Rom,
and I did everyone suggested to me, and the error messages are still the same.

finally, I put cd inside the CDrom and mount /cdrom again, this time It was
success, and I was able to finish my work.

once again, thanks to everyone who helped me.
