T5220 boot cdrom ERROR: boot-read fail

user8769031Aug 8 2012 — edited Aug 8 2012
Hi,
Trying to install solaris 10 from a DVD on Sun T5220 box with 32GB but keep getting ERROR: boot-read fail.

Downloaded Solaris 10 from edelivery and burned a DVD, using two software but both same issue.
The values for cdrom from printenv and probe-scsi-all are different and in probe-scsi-all the DVD drive doesn't have a Target ??


{0} ok printenv
boot-device disk net disk net
..

{0} ok devalias
cdrom /pci@0/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/usb@0,2/storage@2/disk@0:f (this is different value from probe-scsi-all ??)

{0} ok probe-scsi-all
/pci@0/pci@0/pci@2/scsi@0
