This suggests that you have a SCSI CD drive set for ID=6. What vintage
of system and drive are you using?
When I've had CD problems installing Debian on older Sparcs, they have
been because:
- drive was an external one and terminator was not present
- an old drive couldn't read the type of CD media reliably; CD-R is more
compatible with older drives than CD-RW
- drive was new enough, but the CD was bad or I burned it wrong; try
another CD (of another brand if necessary) and burn it at a slow rate
- drive was bad
