I am trying to mount the virtual cdrom from a remote console of a Sun 
Fire server which has RHEL5.

The /var/log/messages shows :

Aug  5 05:10:27 wks-175 kernel: usb 4-5: new high speed USB device using 
ehci_hcd and address 11

xa/form2 cdda tray
Aug  5 05:10:32 wks-175 kernel: sr 12:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg1 
type 5

but the sg devices are of type 21 generic scsi and I cannot mount it :

[root at wks-175 dev]# mount  /dev/sg1 /media
mount: /dev/sg1 is not a block device


Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Vu
