- That CD should be in HSFS format. Try (as root):
-
- mount -t hsfs -r /dev/sr0 /mnt
-
- You might need the patch from this posting to make it work.

-
- The patch follows...
-
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
- As both of you found out, Sun cannot read the guide star
- catalog cdrom from NASA. This is because all of the data
- files are of type RECORD, which Sun chose not to support because
- there is no UNIX interface to access the RECORD structure file.
-
- Attached is a kernel patch that you can make your Sun
- machine to read the guide star cdrom. As a precaution, please
- save your old kernel before applying this patch.
-
- for SunOS 4.1.2

- You need to reboot.
-
- YOu can also edit the file in OBJ/hsfs_node.o.
-
- Any question, please let me know.
-
- Feel free to pass along this patch to those who need this fix.
