Ultra 2 and CD-ROM

Hi List,

I'm trying to reinstall Solaris 8 on to an ultra 2 I have inherited.

The problem I get is that after opening the cdrom to get ready for a 'boot
cdrom' at the OK prompt the cdrom drive just constantly keeps ejecting the
cdrom.
The installation media boots ok on other sun hardware round here.

Running 'probe-scsi-all shows all drives ok including the cdrom.

The only thing that I have done since getting the box is install a graphics
card into the box. Its a turboxga card, well that's what it says on the chip.
its an sbus card.

The problem is persistent with or without the graphics card.

I have tried another cdrom from another ultra 2 but the problem is still
there.

can anyone give me any idea what to do to get this working?

Regards,

Tom
