Dear osf gurus,
We are trying to mount our cd-rom drive(TOSHIBA
CD-ROM XM-4101TA 0064) on our DEC 3000 - M300LX system.
after not having used it for over a year. However when I try the command
mount -r -t cdfs /dev/rz0c /cdrom
/dev/rz0c on /cdrom: I/O error
We are not sure why this happens, but have probed further.
This error also occurs at boot. When we put a cd into the drive,
the drive spins and the led lights but apart from that we have
nothing more to go on. I have tried many of the options for mount but
still no joy.
We tried:
>>>show dev
DKAO A/0/0 RODISK RM WP CD-ROM 0064
our /etc/fstab looks like this
/dev/rz3a / ufs rw 1 1
/proc /proc procfs rw 0 0
/dev/rz3g /usr ufs rw 1 2
/dev/rz0c /cdrom ufs ro 0 0
/dev/rz1g /usr/users ufs rw 1 2
/dev/rz1b swap1 ufs sw 0 2
/dev/rz3b swap2 ufs sw 0 2
/dev/rz1h /tmpast1 ufs rw 1 2
from /var/adm/messages:
