[rescue] Sun 540-5014 (AKA X7288A) versus Teac DV-28E

[Gary Goddard]

I just upgraded the cdrom in my Fire V100 with generic laptop dvd rom 
and its working perfectly, booting solaris 9 and 10 dvd's.
The drive is a panasonic DVD/CDRW, so it looks like as long as the 
connecter is the smae it should work.
