    I have followed the instructions on upgrading an Altix
    system, particularly the "start here: Installing the SGI
    Advanced Linux Environment 2.1.1. Base OS". I am copied
    the update to cds in iso format. The system can mount them
    when in multi-user mode. I go through the boot process and
    get to a Shell> prompt. The instructions suggest that the
    cdrom should show up as an obvious entry in the Device
    mapping table. This is the table I see. I see no cd device
    and examining each in turn does not show the cd.

    Device mapping table
      fs0 : Pci(1|1)/Scsi(Pun0,Lun1)/HD(Part1,Sigg1)
      blk0 : Pci(1|1)/Scsi(Pun0,Lun1)
      blk1 : Pci(1|1)/Scsi(Pun0,Lun1)/HD(Part1,Sigg1) /boot/efi
      blk2 : Pci(1|1)/Scsi(Pun0,Lun1)/HD(Part2,Sigg2)
      blk3 : Pci(1|1)/Scsi(Pun0,Lun1)/HD(Part3,Sigg3) /
      blk4 : Pci(1|1)/Scsi(Pun0,Lun3) /halt
      blk5 : Pci(2|1)/Ata(Primary,Master)

    Shell> fs0:
