    Hello,

    i'm trying to setup a jumpstart install server but
    have 2 problems.

    1.) i cant seem to access the dvd on a v480 running
    solaris 9 with a dvd bay. i put the dvd in, and
    although 'volcheck -v /dev/sr0' shows there is media,
    i can seem to access our mount the disc.

    # ls -al /cdrom
    total 4
    drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 512 Mar 11 18:13
    .
    drwxr-xr-x 25 root root 512 Mar 30 00:25
    ..

    # volcheck -v /dev/sr0
    /dev/sr0 has media

    # mount /dev/sr0 /cdrom
    mount: Device busy
    mount: Cannot open /dev/sr0

    i've tried the same using a sol9 cdrom on a 450 (w/
    sol9 and cdrom drive) and get the same responses. am i
    entering the right command?

    2.) next, since that didnt work, i mounted the sol 9
    cd's (sparc ver) on a linux x86 box, copied it to a
    file server which is a mount on the jumpstart install
    box.

    #Solaris_9/Tools
    bash-2.05# ./setup_install_server
    /snap/jumpstart-media-solaris9/
    ERROR: <remote mount> is not a local filesystem,
    cannot export <path on remote mount> for install
    clients

    so i copied the files over to the local mount.

    # ./setup_install_server /jumpstart-install-path/
    ERROR: Install boot image Solaris_9/Tools/Boot does
    not exist
           Check that boot image exists, or use [-t] to
           specify a valid boot image elsewhere.

    and infact, it's not there. what is s1 ?

    Boot -> ../../../s1

    Thanks for your help, it'd be really nice to know why
    i couldn't access/mount the dvd or cdrom.
