Sun CD-ROM problems

Hmmm!  But "boot cdrom" worked on this cable.  We did have to strap it as a 
master....

Privately, a couple people mentioned:

Jumpstart: Yes, but I want to have a local drive in the long run.  It's not 
so much that I want to have Solaris running, as that I want to be sure this 
machine is alive or dead, one or the other.  If "dead", it goes in the 
garage sale.

Block length: That's for SCSI CD-ROMs IIRC.  And this one boots, just 
rather slowly and with lots of spinning up and down.  I'll go try my 
Solaris 7 CD and see if it's rounder.
