Ultra 10 - Copying Files From Disc After Booting Up With Recovery Disc?

Hello,

I'm still learning unix and I have what is probably a simple question but I can't seem to find the question to. I have an Ultra 10 Sparc Server running solaris 8 and the drive may have crashed (I hope not). Currently, it appears some files in the /etc folder are missing. I have a backup of that folder saved on another windows based pc and I would like to copy the files from the backup via a burned cd to the server after booting from the install CD. How do I mount the cd after I boot up using the solaris install disc?

Thanks for any help you can give!

you can do a mount -F hsfs /dev/dsk/cxtxdxs0 /mnt
iostat -En should show you our controller and target for cdrom drive.

You should a mirrored disk instead or tape backup. It wil be easier and you need not go through such tough methods
