The original dvd drive which was just used to do the install - so HW is ok

I can boot from dvd drive as well

I think that the files in devices directory points to that a cdrom is detected

Code:

 
bash-3.00# ls -la /dev/dsk/c1t4d0p0
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          51 Jan 11 03:07 /dev/dsk/c1t4d0p0 -> ../../devices/pci@0,0/pci108e,4849@1f,2/cdrom@4,0:q
bash-3.00# ls -la /dev/dsk/c1t4d0s0
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          51 Jan 11 03:07 /dev/dsk/c1t4d0s0 -> ../../devices/pci@0,0/pci108e,4849@1f,2/cdrom@4,0:a
bash-3.00#

bios also indicates a sata device in the 4'th port
