- I am trying to upgrade from 4.0.1 to 4.0.5 but the install software option
- on the startup menu does not recognize the CDROM. It thinks I only have a
- tape drive and hinv from the prom monitor says its just a scsi device.
- However, when I boot the system, hinv then recoginzes it as a CDROM and
- I am able to mount a CDROM in the device!! Anyone have any suggestions?

- and have not had any apparent trouble reading CDs since. TIA
