Hello any help on this is appreciated.

I am trying to boot from cdrom on this Ultra 60 and at the 'OK' prompt, I typed 'boot cdrom' and get this message 'can't open boot device' and it goes boot off the hard disk. When I put in a CD into the drive in Solaris, it won't mount nor can I mount it.

I ran a 'probe-scsi-all'
This was came back from a 'probe-scsi-all'

/pci@1f, 4000 /scsi@3,1
/pci@1f, 4000 /scsi@3
Target 0
        Unit 0 Disk Fujitsu... etc..
Target 1
        Unit 0 Disk Fujitsu... etc..
Target 6
        Unit 0 Removable Read Only device Toshiba XM... etc..

So the system see the cdrom as target 6 but whenever I put a cd into the drive, it won't mount nor 'boot cdrom'

Thank you.
