    I think the sun 'standard' is for the cdrom to be on SCSI ID6, that's
    how our sparc is setup anyway. And the cdrom alias in the openprom is
    pointing to the scsi device on ID6. So i'd definately give it a go with
    your CD on 6 rather than 3.

    I think the "sd@6,0" in your output means scsi device @ id 6, lun 0.
    Odd that it still finds SILO and starts to load it though.

    Also, before you use up all the bandwidth redownloading it, why don't
    you just md5sum the iso image to check if it is OK?
