Installing SAN Foundation suite breaks cdrom?

I installed the Solaris San Foundation suite (SAN 4.4 and StorEdge SAN
4.4.1)
and rebooted my V880. After it came up, I inserted a CD to install
some more software. It never mounted, even though vold had been
working fine up until this point. I could see the vold process
running but /cdrom was empty. I ran a volcheck and got:

# volcheck -v
media was found

but nothing is mounted:

# ls -l
total 0
#

I tried to eject it:

# eject cdrom
cdrom: No such file or directory
#

I then turned off vold and tried to mount it manaully:

ount /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s2 /cdrom
/dev/dsk/c0t6d0s2: bad magic number

cfgadm shows me the cd drive:

cfgadm -al
Ap_Id Type Receptacle Occupant
Condition
c0 scsi-bus connected configured
unknown
c0::dsk/c0t6d0 CD-ROM connected configured
unknown
..

(it looks the same as identical systems with working CD drives)

I dropped to an ok prompt, and did a probe-scsi-all and I still see
the CD device plain as day.

Any ideas why SFS broke my cdrom? I was using it a lot before I
installed the SFS packages since I am in the middle of building this
system.

Any info helpful,
