SUMMARY: cdrom not configured
2007-12-24 22:14:00
boot from install media, nothing suggested seemed to work. The
server also would not boot from CD.
Suggestions included:
Mounting the CD manually.
A vold troubleshooting guide.
I switched off the mains supply for the machine in an effort to try
everything from scratch, and hey-presto, all was OK once more.
Solution: Mains power cycle, followed by boot -r.
Bizarre.

Hi all.
I've just jumpstarted an E450, and found that I have no cdrom!
# uname -a
SunOS server1 5.7 Generic_106541-18 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-4
# ls /cdrom
/cdrom: No such file or directory
# eject cdrom0
cdrom0: No such file or directory
Both SUNWvolr and SUNWvolu are installed. I have a running vold
process, and no entries in /var/adm/vold.log or in /var/adm/messages.
I've not been able to find out if the system is missing any required
packages, or if all devices were detected correctly. I did note
that there was a bug with vold in 106541-14, but I've got a later
kernel. Or perhaps this does still apply?
Exactly which packages are required for removable media and vold
to work correctly?
Searching the archives & faq has not resulted in anything relevant.
