Cant open boot device ?!? 1

[UnknownEntity]

Hi, Im trying to install Ubunto on my Sun system to try it out, I am not adept or experienced in Unix at all but am in windows. Im basically getting a recurring error when im trying to boot from CD-ROM drive.

After reboot I press STOP A. Then type in boot cd rom the message i get is the following
Boot device: /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/disk@6,0:f

Can't open boot device.

Then the OK prompt appears.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks.

Looks like there is a problem with these DEV-ROM droves.

Firmware 1007 on these drives is not able to boot from a DVD. Either use CD's, or upgrade the DVD-ROM firmware to 1009 or later with patch 111649
