Problem: mounting CDROM on HP-UX

Problem:
VERICUT only partially installs on HPUX. The install log shows errors.

Solution:
VERICUT’s CD installation on HPUX requires the CD to be mounted with Rockridge extensions.  Use the following commands to mount the VERICUT CD:

1) Make sure the directory containing the PFS utilities (/usr/sbin) is in your execution PATH.

2) Edit (or create) the /etc/pfs_fstab file to contain a line like this:

     <device> <mount_dir> pfs-rrip xlat=rrip 0 0

   Where:

     <device> is the path to your CD-ROM reader (e.g. /dev/dsk/c1t2d0)

     <mount_dir> is the path to an *existing* directory where the CD-ROM will be mounted (e.g. /rr_cdrom)

3) Type the following in a command shell:

     # nohup pfs_mountd &

     # nohup pfsd 4 &

   Note: To permanently enable Rockridge these daemons can be started from an rc script.

4) Mount the drive with the command:

      pfs_mount  <device> | <mount_dir>

You can now continue with the VERICUT installation. When you are finished with the install you can unmount the CD with:

      pfs_umount <device> | <mount_dir>
