Turns out to be a bad cdrom was giving different hardware paths. Crazy
thing was that with diagnostics turned on, it appeared that the cdrom was
being found, however using probe-ide, it was giving inconsistent errors.
Replaced cdrom and all is well again.
Many thanks to those that helped with suggestions. Too many to list here.

Subject: Netra T1 AC200 anomoly
Perhaps somebody can explain this.
I posted earlier today about a jumpstart problem. Many thanks to those that
helped. Now I have an interesting anomoly, that apparently I have had for
quite some time, however I am just noticing the problem since this is the
first time these machines have been jumpstarted.
I have probably 50 Netra AC200's. Most of them look like this
#uname -a
SunOS esite6 5.8 Generic_108528-12 sun4u sparc SUNW,UltraAX-i2
#format
Searching for disks...done
AVAILABLE DISK SELECTIONS:
0. c1t0d0 <SUN18G cyl 7506 alt 2 hd 19 sec 248>
/pci@1f,0/pci@1/scsi@8/sd@0,0
1. c1t1d0 <SUN18G cyl 7506 alt 2 hd 19 sec 248>
/pci@1f,0/pci@1/scsi@8/sd@1,0
Specify disk (enter its number):
I have 1 netra though, that looks like this.
#uname -a
SunOS esite5 5.8 Generic_108528-12 sun4u sparc SUNW,UltraAX-i2

Can Anyone explain to my why on 99 percent of my netra's the hardware path
is c1t0d0 and c1t1d1, however on this one machine it is c0t0d0 and c0t1d1?
I am at a loss. It would be nice to know if there is a way to force it to
be c1t1d0 and c1t1d1 so that things like jumpstart work without creating
custom configs, etc. I have gone to great lengths to keep things similar an
d am worried that this is going to burn me down the road because I have
forgotten the difference???
Any insight would be appreciated.
Ryan
