After I install Solaris 9, The cdrom can't regnize any cd that I put into the drive. Is it default to be hidden or what. How can I mount the cdrom on Solaris 9 ?

I dunno whether I am answering correct or not but what i think is that the volume management does mount the cdrom automatically on to /cdrom/cdrom0 for the first drive and /cdrom/cdrom1 for the second and so on.This holds good for solaris 8. I dunno whether things have changed fro 9 or not.
check whether vold is running or not. if it is it should automatically mount the cdrom. if its not, make sure the package is installed and its set up to start up on boot.

It seems it is hidden when I click on the removal media, but I can't let it show up. Don't know why. I checked Solaris 7 and 8, they can auto mount the cdrom and it also got an icon to run cdrom. But it's not on solaris 9. any one installed Solaris9 knows the reaosn ? I installed Solaris 9 on ultra-5
