I went to mount the cdrom and it errored out with:

Code: Select all

mount: no such device dsk/c1t1d0s2
I tried /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s2 and I tried to mount with this command:

Code: Select all

mount -F hsfs -r /dev/sr0 /cdrom
I get the same error. Does anybody know what is going on with this error?

I use the auto mounter. Just insett the cd, and you are done. I use solaris 11express, but E18 also has the auto mounter
