Ultra 2 CDROM Problem
I have a Ultra 2 running solaris9, I'm trying to do a boot cdrom to install Solaris 10. During the boot, the system can't find the CDROM drive. It shows up during a probe-scsi-all. Also, when booted to Solaris 9 I place a CD in the drive it takes almost 10 minutes before the CD is readable on the system. I've check all connections for power and the SCSi cable. Is it a bad drive to something eles?

Thanks, Jim

iostat -En

that why I asked. Solaris 10 media is on DVD. There are solaris 10 on cdrom media but I think you have to cut it yourself.

So there you have it, nothing wrong with yur ultra2 cdrom.

Does the output of devalias match the output of probe-scsi-all?
In other words: does a boot cdrom really access the CD-ROM drive?
