Now before you think I just ask here as soon as I have an issue... I did try to resolve this myself (reassembled the drive, cleaned the laser)
My latest issue with my Sun Ultra Enterprise 450, Is that when I try to boot from the CD
I get this:
The disk I am using is one that came with the box, it has no scratches or dirt/dust.
I've searched around and all I can find is answers about the disk being wrong/incompatible. However I do not believe this disk to be wrong or incompatible as the disk drive in the box is A DVD drive, and this disk was actually supplied with this box.
P.S. Before I reassembled and cleaned the drive I got A "drive not ready" error.
I think there is no other way then pulling the drive... also you can pull all disks and run the probe-scsi-all command again for every single disk to see if one of your disks is bad. also note, it is probe-scsi-all!

Ah, thanks... That was the problem, I forgot it was
As for the results of it... I am very pleased, as it revealed:
Ok, you have a bad firmware DVD drive. You'll need patch 111649-04 to update your DVD drive to a higher FW. After the update you should be able to boot from DVD.

Ok, so I've looked around, but I can't seem to find A way to apply A firmware update without being logged in as root user. I'm currently still experimenting, But from what I understand I need access to commands unavailable to me in 'ok' prompt.
