I believe that the recommended configuration is to make the second hard
drive the master on the secondary IDE channel. The CDROM becomes the
slave on the secondary channel. The first hard drive is configured as
the master drive on the primary IDE channel. I found some documentation
on Sun.com. I don't recall the URLs and I'm too lazy to search for
them again. Try Sunsolve and/or docs.sun.com.
