[ale] sparc 10 and RedHat Install

[Ray Hiltbrand]

John,
Sounds like the problem is at the OBP (Open Boot Prom).  I would guess the 
device alias for cdrom has been changed.  At the OK prompt type devalias.  This
will give you a listing of the devices aliases defined in the OBP.  You can then
do show-devs to show the devices.  

Also check the scsi IDs on the rest of the devices (probe-scsi-all from
OBP).  By default target 3 is typically the boot disk.
