Yet another question about "bad magic number error"

807557Jan 30 2008 — edited Feb 16 2008
I have acquired a Sun Blade 1000 w/o installed OS and a set of genuine Solaris 10 media. As a Solaris neophyte I'm either being stupid or I've got a real problem and I can't tell which. So help would be greatly appreciated.

With the sparc disc in, if I let the machine start up I get a common error message for used sun kit:

Bad magic number in disk label
Can't open disk label package
Boot device: net File and args:
Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet
....

I stop-a and try to boot from the sparc disc and get the error message:

Boot device: /pci@8,7000000/scsi@6/disk@6,0:f File and args: -s
Bad magic number in disk label
Can't open disk label package

Can't open boot device
...

Using probe-scsi-all shows the Seagate HDD (LiD: 1 HA: 1 LUN: 0 ...), /scsi@6,1, and the Toshiba DVD-ROM (/scsi@6). If the DVD drive is done in how can I tell and what are the specification I need to look for in a replacement?
