Subject:   Mounting IRIX EFS CD on FreeBSD machine?
Message-ID:  <86ogo950sv.fsf@lion.plab.ku.dk>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help

We have an old SGI machine with IRIX 5.2.  Recently we decided to use
the good photoprinter connected to that machine from our FreeBSD
machines and (more important) from our Win* machines (through Samba
and BSD server).

The problem is that BSD-compatible printing system is not installed on
that Indy.  There is of course a way to implement certain rsh-based
magic to teach samba to print on it.  However, this is a long and
nasty way to do it, and we have several IRIX EFS CD's with lpd on one
of them.  But SGI machine does not have a CD-ROM!  It also does not
have C compiler installed (it's on those CDs, too), so a bunch of
other options is out of the question, too.  :-(

My question is - is it possible in some way to mount EFS CDs on
FreeBSD machine?

Thank you in advance.
