The operating system software is distributed on four read-only compact discs (CD-ROM):
The CD-ROM labeled Operating System Volume 1 contains the base operating system software subsets. The software subsets contained on this CD-ROM are described in Section C.1.
The CD-ROM labeled Associated Products Volume 1 contains the Worldwide Language Support (WLS) software and other layered products that are compatible with the operating system. WLS software subsets are described in Section C.4.1. Generic instructions for installing layered products are provided in Appendix D.
The CD-ROM labeled Associated Products Volume 2 contains additional layered products.
The CD-ROM labeled
Documentation Volume 1
contains the documentation
set in
HTML
and
PDF
formats.
Chapter 8
describes how to mount this CD-ROM to view the documentation set.
This appendix describes how to:
B.1 Loading a CD-ROM in a Caddy
A CD-ROM must be placed in a caddy before it can be inserted in an RRD42 or RRD44 disc drive. Caddies are not required for newer, faster types of disc drives. Follow these steps to load a CD-ROM in to a caddy:
Remove the cellophane wrapper (if present) before using the caddy.
Press the tabs on both sides of the caddy and lift the lid.
Remove the CD-ROM from its packaging. Hold the CD-ROM by its edge.
Place the CD-ROM in to the caddy, making sure that the labeled side faces up.
Close the lid of the caddy by pressing both corners down firmly.
Figure B-1
shows how to press the tabs of the
caddy and lift the lid.

Figure B-2
shows how to place the disc in
to the caddy.

B.2 Inserting a CD-ROM into a Disc Drive
After placing the CD-ROM into a caddy, follow these steps to insert the disc caddy into a disc drive:
Insert the caddy in to the slot in the disc drive. The disc label should be facing up.
Push the caddy in until it stops.

shows a CD-ROM (in
its caddy) being inserted in to a disc drive:

Before you can access the files and directories on a CD-ROM, it must be mounted on a mount point. Follow these steps to mount a CD-ROM:
Log in as root or become superuser.
Enter the following command to find the CD-ROM device name if necessary:
#ls /dev/disk/cdrom*c/dev/disk/cdrom0c
Use the
mkdir
command to make a directory
to be the mount point for the CD-ROM.
Then mount the CD-ROM using the
mount
command with the following syntax, substituting the unit number
of your CD-ROM drive for the
unit_number.
mount
/dev/disk/cdrom<unit_number>c /mount-point
For example, to mount the CD-ROM in drive
/dev/disk/cdrom0c
on the directory
/cdrom, enter the following
commands:
#mkdir /cdrom#mount -r /dev/disk/cdrom0c /cdrom
To ensure that the CD-ROM is remounted in the event that your
system crashes or is rebooted, add the following line to the
/etc/fstab
file:
/dev/disk/cdrom0c /cdrom ufs ro 0 0
The system will mount the CD-ROM on the
/cdrom
mount point on every system reboot.
You must unmount a CD-ROM from its mount point
by using the
umount
command before you can eject it from
the disc drive.
To unmount a CD-ROM, you must be superuser or
root
and you must be at least one directory above the mount point of
the CD-ROM.
Use commands similar to the following to unmount a CD-ROM:
#cd /#umount /cdrom
If you do not unmount the CD-ROM before trying to remove it, the CD-ROM
will not eject from the drive when you press the
[EJECT]
button.
If you are in the directory of the mount point of the CD-ROM when you execute
the
umount
command, you will see the message
device busy.
To remove the disc from the disc drive after it is unmounted, press the EJECT button on the disc drive.
If the [EJECT] button is disabled by software or if the drive does not eject the caddy after you press the [EJECT] button, refer to your Optical Disc Drive Owner's Manual for instructions.
