Hi,
I just got a TOSHIBA SCSI CDROM Drive. I would like to
read a disk but seem to be unable to do so.
mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd /mnt
returns with an error message, saying something like
"no such device" (I don't remember exactly).
However I did create a device /dev/scd with
the following command: mknod /dev/scd b 11 0.
Furthermore the SCSI driver of Linux seems to active:
On boottime it states, it found 1 cdrom and mentions
my make and model (TOSHIBA XM3301).
If I do a cat < /dev/scd my SCSI drive LED blinks
and I get a somewhat unreadble kind of directory
from the cdrom disk.
I use the SLS distribution of Linux, version 98pl5.
On my SCSI Harddisk
A "man mount" shows that the filesystem types that
can be added to the mount command only comprise
msdos, minix and ext. There is not a word about
iso9660. Is this old man file or a old mount command
(mount filesize is 5744 Bytes).
HELP HELP HELP
Any help will be appreciated ...
(If I have to use a different mount command to
mount is09660 please let me know which mount and
where to obtain it from. )
