And it's pretty useless. ;-) Annihilannic.
Hi, I wish to add or ask something here. I find Solaris 8 frustrating when it comes to hardware info collection. Being a regular HP UX user, I get the choice of choosing between SAM, ioscan and xstm. I just want to know the device path for my CD-ROM on a Sun workstation...but I don't know where to look. Please help.

/usr/platform/`uname -i`/sbin/prtdiag is one of the best places to get a system configuration summary, but it doesn't have the information you're looking for.
ls -l /dev/sr0 should point you in the right direction. That may be a symbolic link to another device, in which case an ls -l /dev/dsk/cNtNdNsN of that device would show you the link to the /devices tree.
For example:
[tt]$ ls -l /dev/sr0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Jul 4 2001 /dev/sr0 -> dsk/c0t1d0s2
$ ls -l /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 45 Jul 4 2001 /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s2 -> ../../devices/pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ide@3/sd@1,0:c
