Desperate but thankful

Thank you so much for all your help. After several attempts resurrect my
upgrade I decided to do a fresh (initial) install.

I was able to see the disks after using/format/partition/print. I moved my
data to the second disk and did an initial install which worked out nicely.
I have a nice crisp install of Solaris 904. Does any one know why my new
install can't see the cdrom? I didn't customize the install and I did update
the firmware (Patch Id: 108673-02) prior to the install. I also uncommented
out smserverd to support removable media devices 100155/1 tli rpc/ticotsord
wait root /usr/lib/smedia/rpc.smserverd rpc.smserverd in inetd.conf

I 've stopped vold and tried to mount the disk manually - it wont mount -F
hsfs -o ro /dev/dsk/c1t2dos0 /cdrom (target number verified)

I've checked to make sure that all the volume management packages were
installed. I checked to make sure all me nfs packages were installed. I've
checked for vold devices and made sure that the appropriate links exist.
I've verified removable media devices under /vol

The cdrom does show up under scsi-probe and the adapti entries are present
in /kernel/drv/sd.conf.

I can boot up off the CDROM

Help -please
