Thanks for the help
Most pointed out that it is probe-ide, not probe-scsi.
Here is the result:
- X1 runs IDE, `probe-ide` or `pribe-ide-all`
- After I setup the 2nd channel with an IDE CDROM drive
`probe-ide` didn't see the CD drive.
- Both IDE cables in the X1 are ATA100 cables.
I switched the cable for the CD with a "regular" IDE cable.
`probe-ide` detected the drive.
- `boot /pci@1f,0/ide@d/cdrom@2,0:f` started read from CDROM
However, it stopped when boot from 10/01 media with the follwing message:
ok boot /pci@1f,0/ide@d/cdrom@2,0:f
Boot device: /pci@1f,0/ide@d/cdrom@2,0:f File and args:
SunOS Release 5.8 Version Generic_108528-11 64-bit
Copyright 1983-2001 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved.
(Can't load tod module) Program terminated
ok
Anyway, I used 02/02 media and it boots fine
Chris Dupre also suggested that the CD-ROM has to support 512 byte blocks,
not just the PC standard 2k block size.
Thanks
William
