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.

       mcdp - a small cdplayer for linux

       mcdp [/dev/some-cdrom-device]

DESCRIPTION

       The command mcdp is used for playing AudioCD's. It has a curses like userinterface and is fairly simple to use.

OPTIONS

       There is only one optional option - a cd device, e.g. /dev/cdrom2.

KEYS

       KEY	      DESCRIPTION

       #	      play track number # (0,1..9)
       cursor up      fast forward
       cursor right   slow forward
       cursor left    slow rewind
       cursor down    fast rewind
       space	      next track
       b/B	      previous track
       S/s	      toggle start/stop
       P/p	      toggle pause/resume
       E/e	      eject cdrom device
       C/c	      close cdrom device
       R/r	      redraw screen
       M/m	      change playmethod (-/+)
       +/-	      change trackmodifier (+/-)
       </>	      change audio volume of cdrom device (-/+)
       Q/q	      quit mcdp

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       CDDA_DEVICE   Reserved or later :)
       CDROM	     Try this cdrom as default (if unset, CDROM_DEFAULT
		     from params.h is used).
       CDDB_PATH     path to your local cddb files (if unset, _no_ cddb titelinfo
		     is displayed)
       CDDB_SERVER   IP:PORT of a freedb server (if unset, only local cddb
		     stuff is used, if it exists in $CDDB_PATH/$discid).
       LOGNAME	     Is used for remote cddb login.
       HOSTNAME      Is used for remote cddb login too.

FILES

       $HOME/.workmandb   Is used (first) for reading wmdb entries.
       $CDDB_PATH/*	  Is used for reeading/writing cddb entries.

RETURN VALUES

       0    no errors occured / normal quit
       1    the given cd-device isn't a cd-device
       2    your cd seems to be sth. other then a CD-Audio or CD-Mixed
       3    some error while processing terminal code

NOTES

       Some  terminals	don't like the default escape-sequences from params.h ... if so, you have to edit them ! Successfully tested terminals are
       vt100, linux, xterm, xterm-color.

       If you haven't direct access to a freedb server, you may use some port redirector program ... see freshmeat.

       If you have devfs, mcdp will try /dev/cdroms/cdrom0, else /dev/cdrom is tried!
