Hi there!

I've installed a DVD-ROM/CD-RW Combo drive on my Ultra5. I reads and boots
from CDs just fine, but I can read or boot from DVD (I have borrowed an
original Solaris 8 boot DVD from work to test if Openboot would use the
drive).

I have Solaris 9 installed, with the latest patch cluster. Is there
anything
special I have to do to get this working? I read at the link below that
someone else has a similar setup working.

Cheers,

I don't think so. I put one (+/-RW) in an Ultra 5 and installed
Solaris 10 from it. And I have had no problems burning CDs or DVDs with
it.

Hmm ... that was my article -- in this very newsgroup. I didn't
expect to read it on a web page. :-)

Just pop one in -- it should work without problems. Especially
if you add growisofs to it.

Enjoy,
