All,

I'm trying to install solaris 8 via cdrom onto a SPARCStation10
with external CD-ROM.  When I try and boot from the cdrom, I receive
the following errors:

 <#0> boot
/iommu at f,e0000000/sbus at f,e0001000/espdma at f,400000/esp at f,800000/sd at 6,0
 Boot device:
/iommu at f,e0000000/sbus at f,e0001000/espdma at f,400000/esp at f,800000/sd at 6,0 
File and  args: Can't read disk label.
  Can't open disk label package

  Can't open boot device

The result of a probe-scsi-all is:

  <#0> probe-scsi-all
  /iommu at f,e0000000/sbus at f,e0001000/espdma at f,400000/esp at f,800000

Any ideas why I get the errors I do?  I've connected the same CD-ROM to
another SPARCstation 10 and can boot from it without problems.  Also, as
a side note, the hard drives in the box are brand new and do not have
sun labels on them.

Any advise/help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
