Is this an external cdrom connected to a Sun Ultra? What version of OS? What type of hardware? (Need this information since some Ultra's have a problem with external cdroms).
OR
You can try boot -r from the ok prompt. That may reconfigure the system to see the cdrom. Check that the system sees the cdrom with the probe-scsi-all command from the ok prompt.

Hello,
We have an old Axil running SunOS Release 5.5.1. Recently, we updated our network, so the gateway and domain changed. Our network admin forgot (or didn't know) that we had this machine on the network, so it quietly lost its mind.
Now we are trying to add it back to the network. He... (5 Replies)

Good Day,
I've remotely mounted a cdrom (no problems theere). The kicker is I can see the directories on the remote CD bout I can't see the files. What am I doing wrong? I'm logged in as root on both systems. All the permissions seem okay - what am I missing? Thanks (2 Replies)

apt-cdrom
APT-CDROM(8) APT APT-CDROM(8)
NAME
apt-cdrom - APT CD-ROM management utility
SYNOPSIS
apt-cdrom [-rmfan] [-d=cdrom_mount_point] [-o=config_string] [-c=config_file] {add | ident | {-v | --version} | {-h | --help}}
DESCRIPTION
apt-cdrom is used to add a new CD-ROM to APT's list of available sources. apt-cdrom takes care of determining the structure of the disc as
well as correcting for several possible mis-burns and verifying the index files.
It is necessary to use apt-cdrom to add CDs to the APT system; it cannot be done by hand. Furthermore each disc in a multi-CD set must be
inserted and scanned separately to account for possible mis-burns.
Unless the -h, or --help option is given, one of the commands below must be present.
add
add is used to add a new disc to the source list. It will unmount the CD-ROM device, prompt for a disc to be inserted and then proceed
to scan it and copy the index files. If the disc does not have a proper .disk directory you will be prompted for a descriptive title.
APT uses a CD-ROM ID to track which disc is currently in the drive and maintains a database of these IDs in /var/lib/apt/cdroms.list
ident
A debugging tool to report the identity of the current disc as well as the stored file name
OPTIONS
All command line options may be set using the configuration file, the descriptions indicate the configuration option to set. For boolean
options you can override the config file by using something like -f-,--no-f, -f=no or several other variations.
--no-auto-detect, --cdrom
Do not try to auto-detect the CD-ROM path. Usually combined with the --cdrom option. Configuration Item: Acquire::cdrom::AutoDetect.
-d, --cdrom
Mount point; specify the location to mount the CD-ROM. This mount point must be listed in /etc/fstab and properly configured.
Configuration Item: Acquire::cdrom::mount.
-r, --rename
Rename a disc; change the label of a disc or override the disc's given label. This option will cause apt-cdrom to prompt for a new
label. Configuration Item: APT::CDROM::Rename.
-m, --no-mount
No mounting; prevent apt-cdrom from mounting and unmounting the mount point. Configuration Item: APT::CDROM::NoMount.
-f, --fast
Fast Copy; Assume the package files are valid and do not check every package. This option should be used only if apt-cdrom has been run
on this disc before and did not detect any errors. Configuration Item: APT::CDROM::Fast.
-a, --thorough
Thorough Package Scan; This option may be needed with some old Debian 1.1/1.2 discs that have Package files in strange places. It takes
much longer to scan the CD but will pick them all up.
-n, --just-print, --recon, --no-act
No Changes; Do not change the sources.list(5) file and do not write index files. Everything is still checked however. Configuration
Item: APT::CDROM::NoAct.
-h, --help
Show a short usage summary.
-v, --version
Show the program version.
-c, --config-file
Configuration File; Specify a configuration file to use. The program will read the default configuration file and then this
configuration file. If configuration settings need to be set before the default configuration files are parsed specify a file with the
APT_CONFIG environment variable. See apt.conf(5) for syntax information.
-o, --option
Set a Configuration Option; This will set an arbitrary configuration option. The syntax is -o Foo::Bar=bar. -o and --option can be
used multiple times to set different options.
SEE ALSO
apt.conf(5), apt-get(8), sources.list(5)
DIAGNOSTICS
apt-cdrom returns zero on normal operation, decimal 100 on error.
