We won't be able to help you decide if you're mad or not. You'll need another forum for that. We can probably deal with that cd problem though....

HP-UX has a cdfs built into the kernel and you probably did a
mount -F cdfs /dev/cdrom /cdrom
or something very equivalent. There is another way to mount cdroms and you will need to try that. It's the Portable File System code that comes bundled with HP-UX. You can do a "man -k pfs" to get a list of man pages.

But here is what I do basicly....

1. I do a "ln -s /dev/dsk/c6t2d0 /dev/cdrom" or whatever so I can just use /dev/cdrom. This makes stuff easier which ever way you go.

2. And of course I do "mkdir /cdrom" so that I have a mount point with a sensible name.


3. Next I create a file. /etc/pfs_mtab with a single line....
/dev/cdrom /cdrom pfs-iso9660 ro,suid 0 0

4. I start the pfs mount daemon:
pfs_mountd &

5. I start the other daemons. I go with 2. 1 may do, but 2 works...

pfsd 2 &

6. Wait about 30 seconds for everything to connect

7. pfs_mount /cdrom

I think that I got that right. It's been a while.... Anyway...it's close. Good luck.
