I really don't this can help... Try stop-a and boot vmunix -a or boot
vmunix -r (I really don't remember about SunOS 4.1.x but this may be
somethin like this...).
If this cannot work, try change the ID of the new drive... For SunOS 4.1,
ID 6 is the CDROM not an HDD (you should modify some internal of the
kernel for this...). I this you should try to change the ID to 1, 2 or 3.
ID 4 is for a tape and ID 5 for CDROM if my memory is good...
