You've installed patch 708 or 1048, which come with a broken mediad.
You really should have patch 1048 or later, which fixes a bad security
hole in the objectserver (see the security FAQ). If you don't care
about automounting CDs, turn off mediad with '/etc/init.d/mediad stop;
/etc/chkconfig mediad off'. If you do, use the mediad from IRIX 5.3,
(which you'll find in /var/inst/patchbase/usr/etc/mediad after
installing the patch) or upgrade to patch 1096 (but see below).
