> mount -r /dev/rz3c /cdrom

> I have also tried the following but it fails on both machines:
>
> mount -r -t cdfs /dev/rz3c /cdrom

> I notice from the web reference

> that the SCSI adapter is SCSI-2 5-MBytes/s. Is that alright with the
> Plextor PX-32TSI with SCSI-3 interface?

> The error:
>
> No valid filesystem exists on this partition

> I didn't rebuild the kernel after adding the disk because the
> config file has an unused disk entry and I assumed I could use that.
> The system recognized the drive on reboot. After the failure to mount I
> executed MAKEDEV on the appropriate device (which already existed) but I
> still get the message above. I haven't rebooted since the MAKEDEV.

> The hardware is used for an online library system so I don't have
