Thanks Sun Guru's. Very good responses, Very Good tips.
The Original questions....was lost, but it asked:
Why is my old " mount /cdrom" command not working?
The Answer is that there are two types CDROM's; hsfs and ufs.
Can Sun spell "Lable the $%#& thing!"???
When using non-sun CDROM -t option should be -t hsfs.
Sun CDROM's are ufs (4.2 filesystem) so mount -r <dev> <mnt_point>works.
Thanks to everyone!
Here are some nice tips:
from: Geoff Halprin <Geoff.Halprin@fulcrum.oz.au>
The CDROM you are trying to mount may be a Unix (type 4.2) CD, and not an
ISO-9960 (hsfs) type. Most Sun CDROMs are like this. I have the following
two lines in all my /etc/fstab's for this reason;
/dev/sr0 /cdrom hsfs ro,noauto,usermount_access 0 0
/dev/sr0 /cd 4.2 ro,noauto,usermount_access 0 0
That way I can try
# mount /cdrom
and if I get an error,
# mount /cd

The latest OS related CD's from Sun are no longer in HSFS format, they
are type "4.2". [Course, just to make life interesting some of the
others are still hsfs.]
