You do know you have > to specify a FS type of "hsfs" right? Yup... I know about hsfs... the trick is as follows: Solaris 2.8 (patched to the Nov 2000 Recommended set pops up a format floppy dialog on insertion of the cdrom. # mount /cdrom2 mount: /dev/dsk/c2t6d0s2 is already mounted, /cdrom2 is busy, or allowable number of mount points exceeded OK -- this is vold running... time to stop it... # sh -x /etc/init.d/vol* stop + /usr/bin/pkill -x -u 0 vold + exit 0 Insert FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE rom from ISO on ftp.freebsd.org # mount /cdrom2 mount: /dev/dsk/c2t6d0s2 no such device Insert NetBSD 1.4.1 cdrom (burned locally as well...) # mount /cdrom2 # ls -l /cdrom2 total 648 dr-xr-xr-x 4 root root 2048 Aug 24 1999 alpha dr-xr-xr-x 4 root root 2048 Aug 24 1999 amiga dr-xr-xr-x 4 root root 2048 Aug 24 1999 arm32 dr-xr-xr-x 5 root root 2048 Aug 24 1999 atari [ listing cut ] # grep cdrom2 /etc/vfstab /dev/dsk/c2t6d0s2 /dev/rdsk/c2t6d0s2 /cdrom2 hsfs 2 no ro Looks like we tickled some Sun bug with cdrom recognition of the thing. Why else is it trying to run a dos format from vold... It appears to get confused with the bootable rom. BTW -- Solaris 2.6 on Sparc works ok. Solaris 8 on Sparc works ok. Seems like a Solaris x86 problem. Or a problem with the system hardware (both x86 boxes are FIC VA503+ K6-2/450's -- with the same NCR 815 SCSI cards). (However one machine shows the same problem with an IDE CDROM as well as the scsi). It appears Sun's got a free support offer right now... I think I'll give them a try on this one. > For a limited time only Sun is offering our Solaris 8 > Per Incident Phone and E-mail Support at no charge.
