Thanks for confirming that.

OK. This must be because there is a line in the output of prtconf that 
matches the following line in the list of possible sbus devices:
    SUNW,qfe:SunQuad SBus Ethernet:sunqe
(The part before the first ":" is used for matching.)

Can you send us the output of the prtconf command?

Do you have any idea if a SunQuad Ethernet device actually is present on 
your system or what else this line in prtconf could refer to?

Anyway, as you say the error is non-fatal. Most important is that the 
CD-ROM is now detected correctly.
