Can't remote mount the Sol 10 cdrom

I am trying to install some software on a remote machine but have the cd here locally.

I NFS mount the cdrom using:

share -F nfs -o ro /cdrom/cdrom0

Then at the machine where I want to install the software I type:

mount -r <remote-system>:/cdrom/cdrom0 /mnt

Here I get an error saying that "<remote-system>:/cdrom/cdrom0" doesn't exist so I simply type:

mount -r <remote-system>:/cdrom /mnt

...and it mounts it successfully but here is where the problem begins.

When I cd to the /mnt directory everything looks ok:

# cd /mnt

# ls

sol_10_1106_sparc

# cd sol_10_1106_sparc

# ls

s0 s1 s2 s3 s4 s5 s6

#

#

<so far so good >

but when I cd to any of the s0, s1 ,s2 directories, they are all empty.

What have I done wrong?

Thanks

NFS exports filesystems, not directories. So exporting a parent (like cdrom0) does not export filesystems below.Each of the s0, s1, ... are separate filesystems. All you need for installation are s0 and s1. -- Darren
