SUMMARY: Cant read/mount DVDROM

Many thanks to 
   David DEAVES  &   Anthony D'Atri
the probe-ide output says it's a CD drive
so there's no way it can read a DVD media:

My colleague pass it to me & told me it's
a DVD drive.  I was testing the DVD media
(no indication on the Solaris 8 media that
 says it's a DVD media & I presume it's a
 CD) on another Sun box & my PC both of
which have DVD drive.


Thanks
