Setting the Mount Point for the CD-ROM or DVD

3.13.5 Extracting Software from the Zip Files

Verify that the file size of your downloaded file matches the file size displayed on
E-Delivery. Unzip each Zip file to its own temporary directory. For example, create a
directory structure called oraAS10g on your hard drive:
c:\oraAS10g
Then create a new directory for each Zip file you downloaded:
c:\oraAS10g\Disk1
c:\oraAS10g\Disk2
etc.
If you plan burn the files on a CD-ROM, create a separate CD-ROM from the contents
of each directory. Do not burn a CD-ROM containing the Zip file itself; you need the
unzipped contents of the Zip files to do the installation. When you burn the files to
CD-ROM, the contents of each disc must be at the root of the CD image.
To install from CD-ROM or from your hard drive, see

3.14 Setting the Mount Point for the CD-ROM or DVD
The Oracle Application Server CD-ROMs are in RockRidge format. The DVD is in
DVD format.
To mount the first disc:
Insert Oracle Application Server disk 1 into the disk drive.
1.
Create the /SD_CDROM directory if it does not already exist:
2.
# /usr/bin/mkdir /SD_CDROM
Enter a command similar to the following:
3.
# /usr/sbin/mount -F cdfs -o rr /dev/dsk/cxdytz /SD_CDROM
In the preceding example, /SD_CDROM is the disk mount point directory and
/dev/dsk/cxdytz is the device name for the disk device, for example
/dev/dsk/c0d2t0.
