What file system is the osx install cdrom. I tried mount -t hfs and mount -t hfsplus and it still says wrong fs.

ISO9660 maybe?

It's not that, that was the first thing i tried.

The Panther CDs are HFS+

Code:

debian:~# modprobe hfsplus
debian:~# mount -t hfsplus /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only
debian:~# ls /mnt/cdrom/
Applications  Desktop DF  System   Welcome to Mac OS X  dev  mach         private  tmp  var
Desktop DB    Library     Volumes  bin                  etc  mach_kernel  sbin     usr
debian:~#

Code:

ryan@windoze:~$ sudo mount -t hfsplus /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
mount: block device /dev/hdc is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc,
       or too many mounted file systems
ryan@windoze:~$

It's not a standard panther cd. Its a recovery disk from an imac g5. It does full install thought.

how can i tell the file system of a cd from the os. I can just use OSX and get the filesystem.

i also found out that's it's not a cd, it's a dvd ( that drive is a dvd rom even thought i named it /dev/cdrom)
