Xsun and dvd drive on T2000

Hi SunManagers,

I have a T2000 that I just installed the core system of Solaris 10
(Generic_118833-33) on. I need X functionality to be able to run the
NetVault gui and Xsun does not seem to be part of the core system. How
do I install Xsun? Is just a matter of installing a few packages? In
googling, it appears that x.org's server will not run on Sparc?

Second problem - I can do a probe-ide at the obp and see the cdrom
drive. But when I boot into Solaris, I can't find it. At the obp, the
path to the drive is:

/pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/ide@8/cdrom@0,0:f

I followed this path under devices and there is no cdrom. There is a sd
there, which I mounted, but it was not the cd (no "Products" or other
dirs that looked like the cd directory structure). I did a boot -r, but
it is still not showing up. Any ideas where my cdrom went?

Help appreciated.

Warren
