Mounting PC sessions on hybrid CD-ROMs
Posted on September 9th, 1997 by shacker
BeOS seems to have trouble mounting the PC partition on hybrid CD-ROMs which contain both Macintosh and Windows sessions. Tracker can’t and DriveSetup can’t, but Terminal can mount these ISO 9660 sessions. [Editors‘ note: ISO sessions on standard, non-hybrid CDs mount just fine].
- Open a Terminal window.
- Type „
mountvolume -dd
“ to find the device name of your CD-ROM drive (i.e/dev/disk/ide/atapi/1/master/0/raw
for the CD-ROM drive connected as master to the second IDE channel). - Create in the root directory of the filesystem a new directory by typing, for example „
mkdir /wincd
„. - Mount the CD-ROM using the „mount“ command and the option „-t iso9660“, i.e:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/disk/ide/atapi/1/master/0/raw /wincd
