[SunRescue] SGI bootable CD-ROM

[Kurt Huhn]

I have used a Sun part numbered CD-ROM (in 411 case) to boot my Indy with no
special adapters.  You need a cable, but other than that they attach
directly.  In the Indy, there isn't a capability to put a CD-ROM drive in
the chassis without major modification.
