HSFS CDROM with Rock Ridge extension support on SunOS 4.1.1

I got this sorted out, thanks to those of you replied & pointed me in
the right direction! Anyway, the original PROBLEM was :

And the SOLUTION was:

This was already enabled.

So, I removed TFS, LOFS & RFS from my kernel config, 'cause they took
up vfssw stuct space (see the file "/sys/os/vfs_conf.c" to confirm
this), and I didn't need them, then remade the kernel, and this freed
up enough space to make it work after a reboot - without losing PCFS or
NFS.
One day I'll upgrade the O/S ... sure I will :^)
