The SS1+ can boot Solaris 2.6 but I don't think it understands "boot cdrom".

Does it have a "ok" prompt?  Or does it understand teh "n" command
that gets you to the "ok" prompt?

Only the "ok" prompt has a change of understanding "boot cdrom".

The ">" prompt needs something like "b s(0,6,2)"  (but probably not exactly
that)
