Rep:
vold, like most of the executables ending by the letter "d" is a deamon, so you usually do not need to launch it manually.
Just do "ps -ef|grep vold" to see if it is running.
vold should be part of the core solaris installation, so is expected to already run.
If it does not, you can start it with this command (as root):
/etc/init.d/volmgt start
Then, inserting a CD-ROM in the reader should after a couple of seconds automatically mount it in /cdrom/<something>, with the link /cdrom/cdrom0 pointing to it so "cd /cdrom/cdrom0" always put you on the CD root.
