Ultra 5 will not boot from DVD ROM :(
Hi,
I just got a new Ultra 5 and replaced the CD-ROM with an LG DVD-ROM (approved and listed in Sun HCL). Got the DVD-ROM installed to install Solaris 10. Im just learning and new to Solaris installation.
When I insert a Solaris 10 DVD I see that it gets mounted and File Manager opens and displays the ISO files.
However, when I get into OBP to try to install the via the DVD I get bad magic number and checksum errors (boot cdrom -install give same errors) -
ok boot cdrom -s
Boot device: /pci@1f, 0/pci@1,1/ide@3/cdrom@2,0:f File and args: -s
Bad magic number in disk label
Can't open disk label package
Can't open boot device
Bad checksum in disklabel
Can't open disk label package
Boot device: net File and args:
Network Link setup failed
Please Check Cable and Try AAgain.
Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet.
ok
Also here is the output of my probe-ide
ok probe-ide
Device 0 ( Primary Master )
ATA Model : WDDC WD136AA
Device 1 ( Primary Slave )
ATA Model: Maxtor 52049H4
Device 2 ( Secondary Master )
Removable ATAPI Model: HL-DT-STDVD-RAM GH22LP20
Device 3 ( Seconday Slave )

ok
Could some one please let me know what could be wrong and step by step procedures to fix this?
Please help!
Thanks!
Ramesh.

Hi All,
I just bought the SUN x2200m2. After I installed Solaris, I cannot see the CD/DVD ROM. I cannot mount the CD/DVD ROM since it says already mounted. When I try unmount it I get message that CD/DVD is not mounted. :(
Any idea please.

Hi All,
I'm a total noob when it comes to troubleshooting Sun hardware issues, however, I've been tasked with just a task. How can I verify if the DVD rom is working in a Sun system? We've put in the dvd, but can't do anything. This is from command line.
Thanks.
