Default How to create /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s* entries (Solaris7)?

I've got a SpoarcStation 10 with Solaris 7 installed. I would like to
reinstall from scratch the OS. My attempt to boot from the start CD
using an external SCSI CDROM (tried several different ones) set to SCSI
ID 6 issuing 'boot cdrom' from the firmware prompt failed like this:

Rebooting with command: cdrom
Boot device: /iommu/sbus/espdma@f,400000/esp@f,800000/sd@6,0:d File
and args:
Can't read disk label.
Can't open disk label package
Can't open boot device
Type help for more information
ok


On a Mac I can easily mount and read the boot CD (burned by the previous
owner). Now I would like to test whether it is also readable on the
SparcStation. Unfortunately I cannot mount it. It seems that the
necessary /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s* entries do not exist.
How can I create these entries on Solaris7?
