[Sunhelp] intel solaris

[Mohammed I Kalyandurga]

It is good idea to replace the cdrom and check.. Remeber i had the same
problem, and when i replaced my 8x cdrom to 32x teac, it worked.
On an another WINTEL Pentium 133 machine, i had to replace the Main board
because, the solaris didn't even detect my cdrom.
