If you run a csh based shell: alias cdrom 'mount_cd9660 /dev/acd0c /usr/mnt/cdrom; cd /usr/mnt/cdrom; ls;' If you run an sh based shell: alias cdrom='mount_cd9660 /dev/acd0c /usr/mnt/cdrom; cd /usr/mnt/cdrom; ls;' Now type 'cdrom' and see what happens. There is a better way, but it doesn't involve changing the system. It involves engaging your brain to solve problems constructively. It is as easy or difficult as you want it to be.
