G'day folks.....I having trouble mounting a cdrom(SPL July 1996), mounted
it previously. When I file /dev/rz6c (device address) I get the following info
return:

/dev/rrz6c: character special (8/6146) SCSI #0 RRD43 disk #48 (SCSI ID #6)
offline

what does the offline mean ????? This has got me confused.

I have recently rebuilt the kernel and reooted, the rebuild was only to add
patch
OSF360-350147 (pty.o).
