That looks like the device alias (set by the "devalias" command" doesn't
point to a working CDrom. Run "probe-scsi" to see what's there. It should
come up on SCSI ID 6. Set an external CDROM drive to SCSI ID 5, and see can
you do:
OK boot /sbus/SUNW,fas at e,8800000/sd at 5,0:f

Er, looks like it's broken then ? Just see what probe-scsi gives us back,
then we'll see what we can do.
Were there ever any PCs with OpenBoot PROMs ?
