First off, doesn't automounter just mount it? Check to see what is
mounted with the 'df' command. I like its output better than 'mount'.
Its probably already there.

Hmm, lets see. DVD's are UFS filesystem,not hsfs. c0t6d0s0 is only for
SCSI drives on ID6. The textbook seems out of date.

Check to see where for real by running 'df'.
