I believe that suns can read ISO9660 cd-roms and that the command to mount SCSI device 0 on /cdrom, for example, is something like: mount -t hsfs -o ro /dev/sr0 /cdrom Pace Willison has written both an ISO9660 file system for 386BSD and a file system for overcoming the byte-order problem in mounting Sun UFS CD's from a 386. The ISO9660 code is more supported. I know that Pace's ISO9660 file system works. I dropped it into the Mach BSD-Net-2 unix emulator and now I use it quite frequently. Therefore, I think that ISO9660 is the way to go. -- Adam J.
