Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers How to Copy Contents from CD to Hard disk Post 37874 by Perderabo on Tuesday 1st of July 2003 12:14:13 PM

On unix when you mount a disk, you specify a mount point. For example, if I mount /dev/md/dsk/d6 on /opt, then the files would all be under /opt.

Cdrom's under SunOS are usually handled by the volume manager. By default the volume manager will mount under /cdrom/<something> where <something> is a string that it got from the cd.

Try the command:
df -k
and see if you see anything with a "cdrom" in it.
