Official 2.2rev2 CD Kernel Panic on boot
I just downloaded and burned 2.2rev2 and attempted to use it to boot my
SS20. Durring boot I get:
<snip>
cdrom: open failed
VFS: Cannot open root device 0b:00
Press L1-A to return to the boot prom

In the past I've used CD-ROM drives (Sony, and others) pulled from old
PowerPC boxes to boot Solaris and Debian without problems. Today I have
a NEC SICD-12x hooked up on ID6. Looking at the error above it would
appear that this CD-ROM drive may not be fully compatible for booting or
whatnot. Can anyone confirm this? I don't have my 2.2rev1 CD's around
to confirm if it's a bug with the rev2 CD's.
Also, what does "Press L1-A" mean? Stop-A? Thanks.
