system stalled & no DVDrom
Hi we have a decomissioned e450 box which has Solaris 8 installed. I want to install Soalris 10 on the box and use it as a test server. I have couple of problems.
When I start the box, it gets stuck with the message: setting default interface for multicase: add 224.0.0.0: gateway Jerry (jerry is the host name)
I can telnet into the machine but on the monitor has the aboce mentioned error.
My other problem is that the DVD-rom is not being recognized and I cannot boot cdrom. I have tried the following:

/cdrom is normally handled by vold. You cannot mount in it while vold is running.

'eject cdrom' would be the command.

Is anything in cdrom0? What does df -k /cdrom/cdrom0 return? Except for the missing filesystems in 'df' output, it appears already mounted.

There's an additional issue that may be effecting your "experience"
with the ability to boot from that particular optical drive.
"c1t6d0 Soft Errors: 0 Hard Errors: 10 Transport Errors: 0
Vendor: TOSHIBA Product: DVD-ROM SD-M1401 Revision: 1007"
The drive firmware is down-rev.
If I recall the issue properly, that version 1007 firmware lets the drive boot from CD media,
and once vold is running it is a great data drive, but it cannot boot from DVD media.
Once you get everything sorted out, apply [url=http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-21-111649-04-1&s earchclause=sd-m1401]Public Patch 111649[/url] to update the drive.
If you have a Spectrum login to Sunsolve,
glance through BugID 4522975 from 2001, entitled
"Can not install S8U7beta from DVD on Sun Blade 1000"
and also see BugID 4831273 from 2004, entitled
"Toshiba DVD SD-M1401drives give unreliable results"

Thanks for the reply guys...but I am still stuck.....I did upgrade the firmware but still I cannot boot from the dvd-rom. I did:
BEFORE
# iostat -E | grep DVD

AFTER -
# iostat -E | grep DVD

# cd /cdrom
# ls -l

# eject /cdrom

# eject cdrom

then I did
boot cdrom

Any ideas ? Please advise. Thanks

I tried to start normally and then stop the system and go to init 0 state, but that did not help too

then I do stop+a

so back to where we started.

Hmmmm...
Perplexing.
The drive is recognized by the Solaris 8 environment,
it accepts a firmware update, and you can investigate thefilesystems on the media.
However ...
the directory listings and the df inquiries seem somehow 'wrong'.
Granted, I only did a speed-read of the excerpts you gave,
but the optical disk was able to show a percentage of usage,
and oracle and ISO directories were on that DVD disk ?
Perhaps the path-to-inst file has errors.
Glance through the man pages for DEVFSADM.
You can use it in a running OS to rebuild that file and eliminate inaccurate entries.
I think the uppercase "C" command-switch is the appropriate one to use.
Any other insights from Darren, et al ?
I'm running out of ideas, from my hardware-only experiences.

I tried this:
{1} ok devalias cdrom /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/disk@6,0:f
{1} ok boot CDROM
Boot device: /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/disk@6,0:f file and args:
Drive not ready
can't read disk label
can't open disk label package
Can't open boot device
Still no luck卆ny ideas ?

Guys....
I did a lot of things?.but nothing works. Then I thought I might be one of the most stupid persons on planet earth?and guess what?maybe I am. Although the drive says DVD drive?bloody thing does not read the Solaris DVD disk. When I put the CD and boot cdrom?.I抦 all set.
Sorry for the trouble and thanks a mil for all your help.
