I have done this before, but is was several years ago. Now we have the new
sun machines 250.

I am trying to unload APT 5.3.0 from CDROM

I use the sybload executable. when it ask for a non-rewinding device I
enter "/cdrom/cdrom0", but when I get done with the authorization string it
returns an error:

permission denied
Unable to rewind /cdrom/cdrom0
Please verify your device specification


I have tried various other ways - all seem to return this same error.

Anyone out there got any clues???

I think sybload takes the option "-D" to denote a CDROM.
