Hi all...Sun newbie (but some un*x experience) here hoping to get some
help...

I bought an Ultra 1 on ebay and I'm trying to get it running. The
problem is, it doesn't seem to want to boot from CD (it didn't have a
harddrive so I have to install Solaris from scratch). I know the CD
drive I'm using works, and probe-scsi finds the drive. But when I issue
boot cdrom, it goes through initializing memory and then just hangs.
The 'busy' light on the CD never comes on (I've let it sit for at least
15 minutes just to be sure). The only thing I can do is a hard power-down.

I've even tried mounting the CD in an external enclosure, but with the
same luck. probe-scsi-all sees the drive, but boot cdrom just hangs
(though I'm not positive that I'm setting up the correct devalias for
the external CD - probe returns
/sbus@1f,0/dma@1,81000/esp@1,80000
Target 6
Unit 0 Removable Read Only Device TOSHIBA XM-...SUNSLCD...)

Any help/pointers would be greatly appreciated...
