    Hello managers!

    First of, thanks to Stephen Kives that led me onto investigating vold
    further.

    Vold was interfering with the mounting of the cdrom

    Indeed, after killing vold I could easily run mount -F hsfs -o ro
    /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s0 /cdrom

    Luckily I didnt rm the startup scripts, I just mv them into a .notinuse
    catalog so no harm done.

    My first explanation of what I had done was, as I was told by some,
    apparantly very lame, and I agree. There fore an an extra HUGE thank you to:

    Stephen Kives
    Russel Page

    They were both very informative and not pompous, just helpful. You do have
    to fall of a horse 100 times to be an good rider. :-)

    Mvh
