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

install-solaris

install-solaris(1M)													       install-solaris(1M)

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       For x86 machines:

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.

       install-solaris	exists	only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
       details.

       install-solaris allows installation of the operating system onto any standalone system. install-solaris loads the software available on the
       installation media. Refer to the  for disk space requirements.
