[9fans] Mounting a cd?

[9fans] Mounting a cd?

[Dan Allen]

I tried:

9660srv -f /dev/sdD0
mount /srv/9660 /mnt/cd /dev/sdD0

and I cannot get an IS0 9660 CD-ROM to mount on my Plan 9 3rd edition
system.

I'm sure I am just forgetting something...   Any hints?

Thanks!

Dan

try
9660srv
mount /srv/9660 /mnt/cd /dev/sdD0/data

(assuming your CD is MASTER on the secondary IDE controller)

I have a similar problem.  I am installing the Plan9 III distribution on a
Gateway 2000 using the Vita Nuova distribution, which has gotten me much further
than the aux/vga step I was stuck at before.  Now at the configarch step, the
installation does not recognize the CD-ROM.  The log ends with

Mounting kfs filesystem from /dev/sdC0/fs
Mounting kfs filesystem /dev/sdC0/9fat on /n/dist

The CD is not mounted.  The distribution CD is in the CD reader. ;-) In the
installation, I do not see where to mount the CD, either in a new window or in
the browse.  How can I get the install to recognize the CD-ROM? 

I didn't find any list of supported CD-ROMs.  I have a Goldstar CD-ROM
GCD-R540.  It uses the Enhanced IDE interface.  Was able to read it under Win98
and make the boot disk.  I am using the default Vita Nuova plan9.ini file.  I
attached the state of the configuration and the plan9.ini.  

Any help would be appreciated.

Mark
