I just checked my Ultra 5: It has a DVD Rom from anywhere (has been put in by some previous owner). At openboot: devalias cdrom -> /p...@1f,0/p...@1,1/i...@3/cd...@2,0:f boot cdrom -> Debian Lenny CD 1=> ok Debian Squeeze CD 1 16-Apr-2010 => ok both on CD-R media. After booting Debian from hard disk - from /proc: DVD Drive is attached to chanel 1 On some Ultra (10?) with IDE interface, I had to say boot cdrom2 boot cdrom did not work. Maybe that helps.
