Solaris 9 install - MissingPackages

Comment:

Hi, I have recently done a clean Solaris 9 install using the "Entire+OEM" option. Everything completed with out errors and the machine runs fine, but many of the core packages needed for development are missing. As an example SUNWsprot is not installed, and thus I do not have /usr/ccs/bin/as, make, etc.. I know that package is on the "Software 2of2" CD. When I insert the disk, it does not automount it to /cdrom. I can also not eject the disk, leading me to believe that vold has at least tried to mount the device. However it does not show up in the mount table. I'm able to read the disc from my PC, but the packages do not seem to be in solaris pkg format, so I don't know what to do with the contents. Can anyone help me out? Thanks, ~ted
