    I did check the devalias cdrom and it is set to the default, which is what
    it should be since I haven't changed the IDE configurations physically. I
    did add the other devalias' as cdrom1 and 2, but I still received the same
    error. I also set nvram to defaults and I still get the same thing. I also
    did a reconfigure reboot for the heck of it and tried to probe-ide again,
    but I still get the same issues. CDROM drive not present in OBP, but works
    in Solaris 8.
