okay - maybe i have gone out of my mind,
but i really don't remember/know how to
mount a cd-rom partition.  i have dec 3000-400
running DEC osf1/v2.0.

my cdrom:

# file /dev/rrz8c
/dev/rrz8c:     character special (8/16386) SCSI #1 RRD42 disk #64 (SCSI ID #0) 
i have dir called
	/cdrom

so i say (as in the man page)

# mount -r /dev/rz8c /cdrom
/dev/rz8c on /cdrom: No valid filesystem exists on this partition

this happens with a couple of CDs that are supposed to be able to
be readable on unix machines.

i have also tried with -t cdfs but with no success...

can someone pls tell me where i have gone awry?

thanks in advance,

jerry
