Summary:: Netra T1 AC200 anomoly

Turns out to be a bad cdrom was giving different hardware paths.  Crazy
thing was that with diagnostics turned on, it appeared that the cdrom was
being found, however using probe-ide, it was giving inconsistent errors.
Replaced cdrom and all is well again.

Many thanks to those that helped with suggestions.  Too many to list here.

Perhaps somebody can explain this.

I posted earlier today about a jumpstart problem.  Many thanks to those that
helped.  Now I have an interesting anomoly, that apparently I have had for
quite some time, however I am just noticing the problem since this is the
first time these machines have been jumpstarted.  

I have probably 50 Netra AC200's.  Most of them look like this

#uname -a
SunOS esite6 5.8 Generic_108528-12 sun4u sparc SUNW,UltraAX-i2

#format
Searching for disks...done

       0. c1t0d0 <SUN18G cyl 7506 alt 2 hd 19 sec 248>

       1. c1t1d0 <SUN18G cyl 7506 alt 2 hd 19 sec 248>
          /pci@1f,0/pci@1/scsi@8/sd@1,0

I have 1 netra though, that looks like this.

#uname -a
SunOS esite5 5.8 Generic_108528-12 sun4u sparc SUNW,UltraAX-i2

Can Anyone explain to my why on 99 percent of my netra's the hardware path
is c1t0d0 and c1t1d1, however on this one machine it is c0t0d0 and c0t1d1?
I am at a loss.  It would be nice to know if there is a way to force it to
be c1t1d0 and c1t1d1 so that things like jumpstart work without creating
custom configs, etc.  I have gone to great lengths to keep things similar an
d am worried that this is going to burn me down the road because I have
forgotten the difference???

Any insight would be appreciated.

Ryan
