After installing the 'core' installation of Solaris 8, I found out that 'volmgt' was not installed and/or configured in etc/init.d.

I need my cd-rom to mount on startup of the server. I did use the mount option:

mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s0 /cdrom

But would rather have volmgt take care of the cd-rom. Here are my questions:

1. how do I implement volmgt?
2. how do I pkgadd the man pages from the Solaris 8 CD-ROM?

Thanks!

You will need to add the volmgt packages. You can find these on the Solaris CD, typically they are distributed in the following directory:

/cdrom/Solaris_8/Product

or something similar. Once inside that directory you can find the package with the pkginfo command:

pkginfo -d .

Once you know that package name you can add it to the system with pkgadd:

pkgadd -d . SUNWvol

This will also work for the man pages that you need installed.

Note: You need to be root to run the pkgadd command.

Thanks for your help. I ended up reinstalling using the installation which enables more components.
