- When I bought this cdrom player, I foolishly thought that I would be
- able to read cdroms (in the proper format, of course). However, the
- first cd that I've tried to read (not from SGI, but in iso9660 format)
- is not working at all. I'm just a little bit ticked off, especially
- since I've mounted the same disk on a Solbourne and it reads it just fine.
-
- This is a 4D/35, with cdrom, running 4.0.1.
-
- Here is the problem:
-
- root# mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/scsi/sc0d4l0 /CDROM
-
- root# ls -al /CDROM
- total 10
- dr-xr-xr-x 1 root sys 2048 Jul 9 20:08 .
- drwxr-xr-x 25 root sys 1024 Aug 28 10:11 ..
- dr-xr-xr-x 1 root sys 2048 Jul 10 17:28 pdb92cd

- root# ls -al /CDROM/pdb92cd

-
- All of the above (asn_1, dataprtp, docs, etc.) ARE directories.
-
- Any clues? Hints? RTFMs?
