Quite a few workstations seem to be picky about CD-ROM drives,
especially for booting and installing the OS. For Suns, the issue is
sector size. PC CDs want to use 512 and Sun wants 2K or vice versa.
I forget which way around it is. Some drives work on Sun, some need a
jumper change to work, some just don't.
A friend trying to install HP-UX on a 712 recently succeeded with the
fifth drive he tried. All drives worked fine on other systems. After
the install, he tried using a couple of the failed ones on the HP, and
that worked too.
I'd suggest trying a different drive.
