Please switch off sending mail as HTML. Thank you.
afpd has no chance to set up a desktop database an a r/wo medium.
Solution 1: Place the database somewhere else (afpd option)
Solution 2: Mount your CD-ROM one step deeper in a tree but the AppleVolume is one
step higher. Example:
mkdir -p /netatalk-cdrom/cdrom; mount /dev/scd0 ... /netatalk-cdrom/cdrom
echo "/netatalk-cdrom" >> AppleVolumes.whatever
Afpd can now build a database on your / and you can access the CD-ROM.
