x86 Install stops with a /cdrom error
Hi,
I have a DVD burned iso image of Solaris 10 for x86 and trying to install it on an PowerSpec PC with 2 - DVD drives. The DVD image won't boot from the top DVD drive so I put it in the second one and it boots. The installation gets to the following prompt:
"You may need to manually eject the CD/DVD or select a different boot device after reboot to avoid repeating the installation process."
Then the following error occurs on the next screen and the first DVD caddy ejects:
ERROR: The disc you inserted is not a Solaris OS CD/DVD
After I hit the F2 button another prompt says:
"There were problems loading the media from /cdrom.
Solaris installation program exited.
I can't identify the 2 DVD drives anywhere so I can associate them with a device to mount the second DVD drive manually. If I could find it and mount it, I should be able to restart the installation successfully. It appears it is not mounting the volume where the OS is on /cdrom. There is nothing in /cdrom.
Maybe you guru dudes can come up with an easier solution.
Thanks for any help you can give!!!

mount_udf
MOUNT_UDF(8) BSD System Manager's Manual MOUNT_UDF(8)
NAME
mount_udf -- mount an UDF file system
SYNOPSIS
mount_udf [-c] [-g gid] [-o options] [-t gmtoff] [-s session] [-u uid] special node
DESCRIPTION
The mount_udf command attaches the UDF file system residing on the specified special device node on the location indicated with node.
Anonymous files stored on the UDF disc will be represented and saved in the specified uid:gid pair. If unspecified, it will default to
nobody:nobody. Both uid and gid can be either specified with their names as with their numerical equivalents.
-c Close the session after unmount creating remountable snapshots. Closing a session also allows -ROM devices to read the disc cre-
ated. Note that this option only makes sense when mounting sequential recordable media like CD-R and DVD*R.
-g gid Set the group of anonymous files on the file system. The default group is the nobody group.
-o options Use the specified mount options as specified in mount(8).
-s session Select the session session to be mounted instead of the default last one. Implements readonly snapshots on sequential media.
Positive session values indicate an absolute session number. Negative session values are relative to the last session found on
the disc. Note that this option only makes sense when mounting sequential recordable media like CD-R and DVD*R.
-t gmtoff Set the time zone offset (in seconds) from UTC to gmtoff, with positive values indicating east of the Prime Meridian. If not
set, the user's current time zone will be used.
-u uid Set the owner of anonymous files on the file system. The default owner is the user nobody.

NOTES
UDF is a file system defined by the OSTA standardization group and is tailored for data interchange on optical discs (like CDs and DVDs)
between different operating systems. Its also more and more common on other media like Compact Flash (CF) cards.
Read and write access is supported for all media types that CD/DVD type drives can recognise including DVD-RAM. BluRay support is prelimi-
nary; read-only access should work fine but write support is experimental.
Implemented and tested media types are CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW, CD-MRW, DVD-ROM, DVD*R, DVD*RW, DVD+MRW, DVD-RAM but the same code can also read
HD-DVD and BluRay discs. Discs created and written by UDFclient, Nero's InCD, and Roxio's DirectCD/Drag2Disc can be read without problems.
Both open and closed media are supported so there is no need to close discs or sessions.
All current UDF versions up to version 2.60 are supported.
Hard disk partitions and vnd(4) devices may also be mounted. Note when mounting a vnd(4) device it might be necessary to specify the file
image sector size in the geomspec when creating the vnd(4) device or the disc sector size will be used.
BUGS
Write support for UDF version 2.50 is not completely mature and UDF version 2.01 should be used if possible; this is also the default format.
Due to lack of test media and recording devices, BluRay support and in particular BluRay-R is still preliminary as of writing.
