Gidom,
To boot from the cdrom on any of the sun4c systems, be it, ipc,
ipx , ss1, 1+, or ss2,
at the openboot prom, type boot sd(0,6,2). The system usually
expects to see the
cdrom at scsi id 6, and I don't recall, why sun decided to make
partition 2 the boot
partition. Maybe someone else knows/remembers.
