    To upgrade a Sun Blade 150 workstation from Solaris 9 to 10, I bought
    the DVD-ROM from Sun. The Sun Blade 150 comes with a DVD-ROM drive. The
    Solaris 10 installation instructions tell me:

    Start the Solaris installation program.

         *

           To boot from the local DVD or CD and start the Solaris
    installation GUI, type the following command.

    ok boot cdrom

    -------
    ok boot cdrom
    Boot device: /pci@1f,0/ide@d/cdrom@1,0:f File and args:
    Bad magic number in disk label
    Can't open disk label package

    Can't open boot device

    ok
    -------

    Certainly Sun wouldn't sell me a DVD-ROM that is incompatible with their
    own DVD-ROM drive!
