In these examples, /mnt/cdrom and /media/cdrom are the mount point directories for the disc drive.

Insert the appropriate disc into the disc drive.

To verify that the disc mounted automatically, enter one of the following commands depending on your platform:

• Red Hat:

  # ls /mnt/cdrom
  
  

• UnitedLinux:

  # ls /media/cdrom
  
  

If this command fails to display the contents of the disc, enter a command similar to the following to mount it, depending on your platform:

• Red Hat:

  # mount -t is09660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
  
  

• UnitedLinux:

  # mount -t is09660 /dev/cdrom  /media/cdrom
  
  

In these examples, /mnt/cdrom and /media/cdrom are the mount point directories for the disc drive.

If the Installer is displaying the Disk Location dialog box, enter the disc mount point directory path, for example:

# /usr/sbin/mount -r -F hsfs /dev/dsk/cxtydzs2 /cdrom

In this example, /cdrom is the disc mount point directory and /dev/dsk/cxtydzs2 is the device name for the disc device, for example /dev/dsk/c0t2d0s2.

Insert the appropriate disc into the disc drive, then enter a command similar to the following to mount it:

# /usr/sbin/mount -t cdfs -o nodefperm,noversion /dev/disk/cdrom0c /cdrom

In this example, /cdrom is the disc mount point directory, which must exist, and /dev/disk/cdrom0c is the disc device name.

If the Installer is displaying the Disk Location dialog box, enter the disc mount point directory path, for example:
