Taken from the Sun CD-ROM FAQ (http://saturn.tlug.org/suncdfaq):

How do I know if my CD-ROM drive is not Sun compatible?

The PROM will report "bad magic number" or "data overrun" errors when
attempting to boot from an incompatible CD-ROM drive.

<---SNIP--->

Does the drive support 512 byte sectors? If not, you're out of luck. See
the FAQ for more details.
