1. I purchased a copy of: "Solaris 2.5 for Sparcbook 3 Version D.0" from
Tadpole to install on my 3XP.

2. Using the "probe-scsi"command, I got the following response for the
cdrom:

Target 6
Removable Read Only Device      Plextor CD-ROM PX-4XCS 1.011005/94 18:00

3.  When I gave the command "boot cdrom",  I got the following response:

SunOS Release 5.5 Version D.O [UNIX (R) System V Release 4.0]
Copyright (c) 1983-1995, Sun Microsystems, Inc.
Copyright (c) 1992-1996, Tadpole Technology PLC.
WARNING: /iommu at 0, 10000000/sbus at 0, 10001000/espdma at 4, 8400000/esp at 4,
8800000/sd at 6,0 (sd6):

4. Then after a while:

       Rd capacity block size (512) disagrees with sector size (2048)

5.  And was not able to go further.

I have no experience with Tadpole ...  Can any one tell me what I am doing
wrong and what I can do to install the operating system.

PS.  the internal hard drive is target 3, the floppy target 5 and the
CDROM is new - undamaged.  the 3XP has 64 MB ram and 1 GB drive.
