Hi,
As I'm also new to the Hurd, I'm not sure I'll help you well, but some
people might correct me if I'm wrong...
With MAKEDEV, you only launch the storeio server which - I guess - is
only used for accessing the device itself. Thus, cat should be able to
dump the content of your cd-rom... but I can't explain why it doesn't.
:)
But I can tell you how to use your cd-rom well (just like mounting it
under Linux) : you simply need to create a node with the appropriate
filesystem server associated, i.e. with "settrans -ca /mnt/cdrom
/hurd/isofs /dev/hd1", and it should work this way.
But I had a similar problem with my Linux ext2 partition : I can't
manage to 'mount' it (with "settrans -ca /mnt/linux /hurd/ext2fs
/dev/hd0s7") as I get the following error messages :
ext2fs: Mounted read-only because of unsupported optionnal feature
(0x1)
ext2fs: main: panic: no root node!
settrans: translator died.
So I might also ask some more help now... ;)
Thanks,
L�0.
