Hi -

I have had a couple of responses asking if 'mount -r -t ufs ...' works. It
does not. It appears that the software product CDs before July 2001 can not
be mounted on systems running 5.1 or 5.1A. I installed the subset on a
machine running 5.0A, but have since upgraded to 5.1 on that machine. When I
put the disk in the drive I get the following console message:

vmunix: SCSI logical disk 1: using ULTRIX partition info found on disk

When I type
 mount -r -t ufs /dev/disk/cdrom0a /mnt or
 mount -r /dev/disk/cdrom0a /mnt

I get
/dev/disk/cdrom0a on /mnt: No valid filesystem exists on this partition

I would rather not copy the files from another machine without using setld.
Unfortunately, our current development project needs the old version of MPI.

Thanks for any help,

Dave Korzekwa
