Mount DVD in unix ?

Use the following procedure to mount a DVD-ROM on HP-UX 11i v2 (B.11.23):

1. Log in as root
2. Insert the DVD into the DVD-ROM drive and wait for the drive's busy light to stop blinking.
3. Find the DVD-ROM device file name using the following command:

ioscan -fn -C disk | more
/dev/dsk/c1t2d0 is a typical device name.

4. Create the mount point under root(/):

mkdir /dvdrom

5. Mount the DVD onto the new directory as a file system. For example, the following command mounts the /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 device as the /dvdrom directory:

mount /dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /dvdrom
