If you have an .ISO image you would like to mount as a volume on your NetWare 6 server here's how you do it.
- Copy your .ISO image to a directory on your volume.
- Load cdinst.nlm
- Type "cd image <volumes:Path to iso file\iso filename>"
- As the last step, type "cd mount <volume name>"
(When you don't know the volume name of your image you can type "cd device list" and check the volume name on the logger screen)
Notes
- For this to work make sure you do NOT have cd9660.nss and cdhfs.nss loaded.
- This trick does not work on NetWare 6.5 as the next release of NetWare no longer uses cdinst.nlm
Reader Comments
- In Netware 6.5 SP2 or later you can do this with:
nss /MountImageVolume=
- NW65 support pack 5 trying to load edir88.iso and none of these commands will work
- very nice! tnx
