4.2 Installing from the CD-ROM
4.2.1 Access to Remote CD-ROM
4.2.2 Using cdm
4.2.3 Mounting the CD-ROM
If the CD-ROM drive that you are using for software installation is attached to
a remote machine, refer to your SunOS installation guide for remote CD-ROM
access and proceed with the installation procedures in the sections that follow.
When installing the SunFastEthernet Adapter software from a CD-ROM, you
can use the cdm program. The cdm program has a command-line interface that
allows you to install applications directly onto a machine that does not have a
bit-mapped display. The following text presents instructions for cdm.
1. Mount the CD-ROM from either a local or remote machine. For example,
for a local machine type:
hostname # mkdir /cdrom
hostname # mount -rt hsfs /dev/sr0 /cdrom
For a remote machine type:
hostname # mkdir /cdrom
hostname # mount -rt hsfs <remote machine>:/cdrom /cdrom
2. After successfully mounting the CD-ROM filesystem, change directories
to /cdrom as follows:
hostname # cd /cdrom/1.1.x
