34. How do I mount an ISO-9660 disc on a Sun?

 a. SunOS 4.1.x:

    Su to root and run this command,
      # mount -r -t hsfs /dev/sr0 /cdrom
    or even better, put the following line in your /etc/fstab
      /dev/sr0   /cdrom hsfs ro 0 0
    and then run
      # mount /cdrom

    Don Trimmer, of Delta Microsystems, has written a program that allows
    safe mount/umount operations without requiring super user permissions.
    You can get his program by anonymous ftp from cdrom.com:/cdrom/mount.c

 b. Sun Solaris 2.2 and later

    Just insert the CD-ROM in the drive. If it's a HSFS format disk, it
    will get mounted automatically (under /cdrom). If it's a UNIX fileystem
    format, it will also get mounted automatically.  It it's an audio disk,
    nothing will happen UNLESS you have enabled audio CD's, by uncommenting
    or adding this line to the end of /etc/rmmount.conf and restarted "vold":
          action cdrom action_workman.so /bin/workman
    (changing /bin/workman to wherever workman or some other Audio CD player 
    program is located). Actions are being developed for other types of CD's.
