Steve:
I just tried to install Solaris 10 update 7 FCS CD1 on an ultra5 and it
boots fine.

I will suggest you run iostat -E and check for errors in your CDROM
drive. From my past experience, if you get Fast Data Access MMU Miss,
you can try reset or reset-all from the ok prompt. That might clear up
the hardware error and you can try booting the cdrom again and see
whether it works.
