Might be useful if you provide some more information. Which type of Sun 
workstation? Where did you get the CDROM? Which debian version?

As I can see by the boot device message you try to install on an old SBUS 
based sun. My old Sun (Toshiba) SCSI CD drives dont read RW media. You might 
need a RO CD. Might that be your problem?
