I am using an Ultra 60 and Solaris 9 12/02 (Sun CD's), no problems.
/pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/sd@6,0(sd6) is your CD-ROM drive.
Sounds to me like your CDROM is questionable or the cabling of it.
As a last resort, since you bought this used and in an unknown state, I
would try resetting the OBP to its factory defaults. I once had an AC200
that just gave me intermitent boot problems (MMU memory miss etc) and I
couldn't boot the CDROM or something wierd like that. Then I reset the
OBP to defaults and that was the end of my problems. After comparing the
before and after settings, someone really dinged with the settings on
that AC200.
