Ultra10 intstall question

Hi,
Getting this error when attempting to install Solaris from cdrom.

>>>>> from screen <<<<

ok boot cdrom

This is an install in which I want to wipe out everything on the disk

probe-ide sees the disk.
Device 0 ( Primary Master )
ATA Mode: WDC WD200EB-00CSF0

I've tried two other disks and have gotten the same results.
Can it be the disks since they are not SUN supported as they were
pulled from old PC's ?
Disks attempted:
- Western Digital 5400rpm 20G
- Quantum 5400rpm 10G
- Quantum 5400rpm 10G


I thought that a Ultra 10 can take on any ATA drive.

Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

-thanks in advance,
dan
