Compaq Tru64 UNIX: Mounting a CD-ROM

1. Log on as user root.
2. Create a mount point for the CD-ROM with the command:
mkdir <CD-mountdir> (for example, <CD-mountdir> is /sapcd)
3. Mount the CD-ROM with the command:
mount -dr -t cdfs /dev/rz<n>c <CD-mountdir>
<n> is the hardware or SCSI address of the CD-ROM (0-6).
If the command fails with the message Invalid argument, the kernel is not configured
for the use of CD-ROMs. In this case, proceed as follows:
a. Edit the file /usr/sys/conf/<HOST>
Insert the following line in the appropriate section:
options CDFS

b. Generate a new kernel with
/usr/sbin/doconfig -c <HOST>
<HOST> is the hostname of the computer in uppercase letters.
c. Copy the new kernel to the root directory
cp /usr/sys/<HOST>/vmunix /.
d. Reboot the system.
