The A: drive I'm not sure about, but the CD will be auto-mounted (if you have the automountd daemon running, which it is normally).

Once you put the cd in, just type in "mount" by itself, and it will show you the path to where it was mounted. Usually /cdrom or /mnt/cdrom and the the CD name ie: /mnt/cdrom/Solaris8_sparc.

If not, check to see if the automount daemon is running by running "ps -ef¦grep automount", and you should see something like this:

root 181 1 0 Nov 18? 0:00 /usr/lib/autofs/automountd

If it's not running, then start it by running: "/etc/init.d/autofs start". It should start then.

If you've put the CD and the floppy in, and it still doesn't see it automatically, then force it to check by running: "volcheck". That should check *all* the removable media to see if there's any readable volumes/media in them.

HTH!
