I know that if I attach a standard SCSI CD-Rom on ID 5 it will be detected and I can both boot from and read standard CD-Rom's.  However, when I connect an external CD-Writer (Philips CDD 3600) with SCSI ID 5 it is not detected even as a normal CD-Rom drive!

You need to add Generic SCSI to the machine. And solaris preferes another
block size therefor some drives are just useless.

Note the first CDROM drive is normally attached as SCSI ID 6.
