[SunHELP] Booting of CDROM

[Peter Stokes]

Hi

What do you get when you try probe-scsi from the ok prompt?

You should see CDROM as target 6 (assuming you have SCSI based system)

The error you are getting looks like it cannot see the drive in the expected
id slot.

No , They are actual CDS from Sun which had come with the System ...

Hello,

I have the same issue over here. 'cannot open boot device' .  Are you using
burned cd's ?  I finally broke down and ordered 2.6 off of ebay.
apparantly burning solaris cd's is 'hard'.  Let me know if you ever get that
thing to go and vice versa.
