Sorry to self reply, but I have found a work around for the cdrom
hanging. ACPI is the problem.
You can either add 'setprop acpi-user-options 0x4' in solaris/bootenv.rc
if you use an install floppy or at the boot selection screen hit F4 for
Boot Tasks, View/Edit, F4 for create and create a new entry called
'acpi-user-options' w/ a value of '0x4'.
The latter is what I did as I am still booting from cd.
I will attempt to get the PXE boot to work next week, w/ the reply I
received already.
Thanks,
FYI,
Drew
