Installing ubuntu on the Netra x1 (Sun MicroSystem)
This is a standard box with all factory parts.

CD-ROM and HARD DRIVE are not found by the installer,
BUT ARE FOUND in the console before I boot off the cd-rom.
Ill first set the cdrom to boot with the command " setenv boot-device cdrom " From the console

*****************************
Console - Action - set cdrom to boot
*****************************

boot-device = cdrom
ok

Boot device: /pci@1f,0/ide@d/cdrom@2,0:f [This line tells me that it sees the drive on the IDE as the secondary slave (ide@d) and is Drive Letter "F"
The Box sees the CD-Rom and boots off the cd next

Welcome to Ubuntu jaunty!

This is an Ubuntu installation CDROM, built on 20090423.
Keep it once you have installed your system, as you can boot from it
to repair the system on your hard disk if that ever becomes necessary.

WARNING: You should completely back up all of your hard disks before
proceeding. The installation procedure can completely and irreversibly
erase them! If you haven't made backups yet, remove the rescue disc
from the drive and press L1-A to get back to the OpenBoot prompt.

Ubuntu comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by
applicable law.

[ ENTER - Boot install ] [ Type "rescue" - Boot into rescue mode ]

Your imagename `device' and arguments `cdrom' have either wrong syntax,
or describe a label which is not present in silo.conf
