Vrt told me that if you happen to have a CDROM in the drive a boot time,
you can't access the CDROM. Sure enough, I shut down, ejected the
cdrom, and rebooted.
Now my CDROM works.
We have a bug in to Sun Service Order 1637598 complaining about this.
They say it is a known bug in the volume manager, and will be fixed in
Solaris 2.4, and that a patch for 2.3 is under construction and will be
made available soon. I told them to put us on the list to be notified
about it.
After all, if you've got a CDROM in the drive, and you get a power hit,
you have to shut down, eject, and reboot by hand to get the CDROM back.
