I read your post and all kinds of things come to mind.
This is a USB CDROM so "removable media" comes to mind.
If you "rmformat -l" (both with the CDROM connected and disconnected to compare) can you see the device name? eg. c3t0d0 ??
Are you sure the CDROM media is the correct format for SUN?
If you can get a device name then you could try and "mount" that device like you would mount any other filesystem.
Also, try any of the above with volume management turned on and turned off.
Let's see what other replies say.

removable-media
removable-media(9P) Kernel Properties for Drivers removable-media(9P)
NAME
removable-media - removable media device property
DESCRIPTION
A device that supports removable media--such as CDROM, JAZZ, and ZIP drives--and that supports power management and expects automatic
mounting of the device via the volume manager should export the boolean (zero length) property removable-media. This property enables the
system to make the power state of the device dependent on the power state of the frame buffer and monitor. See the power.conf(4) discussion
of the device-dependency-property entry for more information.
Devices that behave like removable devices (such as PC ATA cards, where the controller and media both are removed at the same time) should
also export this property.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: removable-media Entry
An example of a removable-media entry from the .conf file of a driver is shown below.
# This entry keeps removable media from being powered down unless
# the console framebuffer and monitor are powered down
#
removable-media=1;
Example 2: Implementation in attach()
Below is an example of how the entry above would be implemented in the attach(9E) function of the driver.
xxattach(dev_info_t *dip, ddi_attach_cmd_t cmd)
{
...
if (ddi_prop_create(DDI_DEV_T_NONE, dip, DDI_PROP_CANSLEEP,
"removable-media", NULL, 0)) != DDI_PROP_SUCCESS)
goto failed;
...
}
