Beginner CDrom problem

Is vold running? Is the cdrom setup in the vold.conf file?

VOLD is running.

This is the vold.conf file

After you insert the CD, type the command "volcheck" at the command line (in an xterm window) - this should mount the CD, or floppy drive. If you want to use the automounter, you must configure your system to do so.

=========================================
When I execute the command volcheck I see activity on the floppy but not the cdrom.
There is no directory for the cdrom

After running volcheck - you should try to cd to /cdrom/cdrom0. If you still cannot access the cdrom, Then you have other troubles, so I must ask, did you upgrade the OS from some earlier version? If so, how old is the machine, and as part of the upgrade, did you update the firmware as required? Seems like the cd was working until you upgraded. If you did not upgrade the firmware, then do so now. Then restart the machine, and stop-A to get to the OK prompt. Then do a reset -r to rebuild devs or do a reset -all to reinit the nvram -
That should take care of it. If you did not upgrade, and it was a cold install on a new box, then you might want to look at patching the OS.

Also, list your dev files out and make sure they match up tothe proper device files in nvram. (your scsi id may be wrong in the vold.conf)
good luck
