Hello Friends,
I have a Sun SPARCstation 5 Workstation. I 'm a newbie, would like to know how should I retrieve data stored on a CD. I am unable to do so.
P.S If I'm not wrong when I insert the CD into the CDROM drive the Volume Manager should detect the CD & should automatically show me the contents of the CD, unlike incase of a floppy where I need to use volcheck.

Mounting CD-ROM: % mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/dsk/ /cdrom (Make sure you are superuser - 'root')
if not known: check the file: '/etc/vold.conf' and go slowly... you will find the CD-Driver detail..: #devices to use
e.g: c0t2d0s2?
else go to OpenBoot-PROM (BE SERIOUS) Press Keys: Stop+A Type Command: devalias YOU GET THE DEVICES... READ THE cdrom...device Type Command: go 'go' is must to be back to normal..
NOTE: Make sure NO USER is working as network connection is lost...
then cd '/dev/dsk' ls -lL * ls -l match the driver
ISN'T EASY....
