[rescue] Dead AXi?

[Big Endian]

I have an AXi machine here that seems to have trouble with cdroms.  I 
have the cdrom on a wide->narrow terminating converter.  If I try to 
boot cdrom, it takes about 5 minutes, and the cdrom looks idle... 
then it finally gives up on mounting the root fs.  Output follows:

SPARCengine(tm)Ultra(tm) AXi (UltraSPARC-IIi 300MHz), No Keyboard
OpenBoot 3.10.4 SME, 1024 MB memory installed, Serial #8382984.
