Hit Stop-A during boot and check that all of your memory is actually
being seen and tested.
Now say probe-scsi-all at the ok> prompt and check what SCSI devices
you have.
The HD should be on id3 and the CD should be on id6.
Now say printenv at the ok> prompt and check that nobody has fooled
with the boot-device setting. If necessary tell it to set-defaults.
Now try telling it to boot cdrom.
Is your external SCSI chain properly terminated ?
Is your CD device Sun-compatible ? - it must use 512 byte blocks
rather than the usual default of 2048 bytes. Many SCSI CDROMs have
a jumper to set this.
Have you checked that the CD is actually any good on another machine ?
There are some bum CDs around.
