2.Insert the Sun GigaSwift Ethernet Driver 1.0 CD into a CD-ROM drive that is connected to your system.

If your system is running Sun Enterprise Volume Manager™, it should automatically mount the CD-ROM to the /cdrom/cdrom0 directory.

If your system is not running Volume Manager, mount the CD-ROM as follows:

#mkdir /cdrom

#mkdir /cdrom/cdrom0

#mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s2 /cdrom/cdrom0

You will see the following files and directories in the /cdrom/GigaSwiftEthernet directory or the

/cdrom/cdrom0 directory, depending on how you mounted the CD-ROM.
