[prossible redundancy alert]
attach the drive to your SCSI chain, give it ID 6, try probe-scsi on the ok
prompt, resolve any SCSI problems when your drive doesn't show up, fire up
Solaris, login as root, do /usr/sbin/disks, check /dev/dsk/ for new entries
that look like c0d6*, reboot or restart vold and you're done, vold will
automatically mount CDs you insert, they should show up under /cdrom/diskname
or /cdrom/cdromx where x is some number. Use <eject cdrom>, <eject cdromx> or
<eject diskname> to unmount and eject CDs.
