You should be ok if you have the official deb 2.2 iso's - these will boot
with 'boot cdrom' on my machines (ss1, ss2, ipc) with several cd drives.

There must be some slight difference here, since debian will boot on all
of the drives, SunOS 4.1.4 on most of them, and Solaris 2 /only/ on the
toshiba that has the genuine sun firmware. Wierd isn't it?

YMMV - if you can pick up a 2nd-hand toshiba or sony drive you'll probably
be OK.
