[Qemu-discuss] accessing cd image, solaris 2.5.1

[Basil Huffman]

Hello all, I used Artyom Tarasenko's tutorial on installing Solaris on qemu.  I have Solaris 2.5.1 installed to a disk image. I now need to install some software, from cd onto my disk image.

I have made an iso of the cd and have tried to access it by doing the following:

1. qemu-system-sparc -M SS-5 -m 256 -nographic -bios ss5.bin -hdb solaris.disk -cdrom CD.iso

I try to mount it via (as instructions from the software): "mount -o ro -F hsfs /dev/sr0 /mnt"

And the following error message is displayed:

mount: /dev/sr0 is already mounted, /mnt is busy,
        or allowable number of mount points exceeded


2. qemu-system-sparc -M SS-5 -m 256 -nographic -bios ss5.bin -hdb solaris.disk -hdc CD.iso

I then tried this method, as Artyom mentions that there are some cd issues when dealing with Solaris 2.5.1 (I had to install to the disk via a manner similar to this).

I then try to mount it via: "mount /dev/dsk/c0t2d0s0 /mnt"

But the following error message is displayed:

nfs mount: nfs file system; use host:path

I am unsure if my issue is with qemu, with solaris, or a combination of both. How can I go about accessing and mounting the cd image?
