[Netra i] Install Solaris 8

Greatings.

I've got an old Netra i (sparcstation 4) from a friend of mine. Now i want to reinstall i because he foregot his password. I'v downloded Solaris 8 from this site (ofcourse the Sparc version :D )

Now he did't boot from cd-rom when i enter 'boot cdrom' I've got the message 'Can't find boot device'. Now i tried about 7 diverent cd-rom drives. One of them did a little bit more. But that cd-rom drive is not good anymore (read error's). Other driver are 100% working, but not in this machine.

Do i need a specified CD-Rom drive or settings? What could be wrong?
