Stefan,

Thanks for the info.  I put the CD into the drive, disabled rmvolmgr,
and exported the drive the drive to the guest.  Everything seemed
to go okay, but when I attempt 'boot cdrom' from the OBP prompt on
the guest domain I get:

        Boot device: /virtual-devices at 100/channel-devices at 200/disk at 2  
File and 
args:
        WARNING: /virtual-devices at 100/channel-devices at 200/disk at 2: 
Timeout 
receiving packet from LDC ... retrying

The warning is repeated multiple times, then finally gives up with:

        ERROR: boot-read fail


        Can't open boot device

Any idea how to troubleshoot this?

Regards,

Andre
