try:
mount -F hsfs -o nomaplcase,ro /dev/dsk/c0t2d0s2 /tmpcd

is it a sun box? standard for cd/dvd drives is the target id 6....

did you try:
Code:
mount -F hsfs -o nomaplcase,ro /dev/dsk/c0t2d0s2 /tmpcd
?

target id means the scsi id for the cdrom/dvd drive. its typically id 6 in a sun box:

c0t6d0s2
