if you put an external usb cd /dvd in there you have to set your devalias. You cannot boot cdrom and expect the external to work because the path to cdrom is still the internal. I would suspect you have a bad internal cdrom in there. If you want to use an external cdrom just do something like this:

Code:
ok  probe-scsi-all

ok show-disks
a) /pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@9/SUNW,emlxs@0,1/fp@0,0/disk
b) /pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@9/SUNW,emlxs@0/fp@0,0/disk
c) /pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@2/scsi@0/disk
d) /pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/usb@0,2/storage@2/disk
e) /pci@780/pci@0/pci@9/SUNW,emlxs@0,1/fp@0,0/disk
f) /pci@780/pci@0/pci@9/SUNW,emlxs@0/fp@0,0/disk
q) NO SELECTION
Enter Selection, q to quit: d

select your usb cd drive here

Code:
/pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/usb@0,2/storage@2/disk has been selected.
Type ^Y ( Control-Y ) to insert it in the command line.

ok nvalias usbcd ^Y

         for creating devalias mydev for /pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/usb@0,2/storage@2/disk

ok

ok devalias
usbcd                    /pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/usb@0,2/storage@2/disk
ttya                     /ebus@800/serial@0,3fffff8
nvram                    /virtual-devices/nvram@3
net1                     /pci@780/pci@0/pci@1/network@0,1
net0                     /pci@780/pci@0/pci@1/network@0
net                      /pci@780/pci@0/pci@1/network@0
disk3                    /pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@2/scsi@0/disk@3
disk2                    /pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@2/scsi@0/disk@2
disk1                    /pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@2/scsi@0/disk@1
disk0                    /pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@2/scsi@0/disk@0
disk                     /pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@2/scsi@0/disk@0
scsi                     /pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@2/scsi@0
virtual-console          /virtual-devices/console@1
name                     aliases
ok nvalias usbcd /pci@7c0/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/usb@0,2/storage@2/disk@0
ok boot usbcd
