I'm trying to install Mandrake 7.0 on an Ultra Enterprise 1 with a SCSI
CD-ROM drive.
At the ok prompt I type 'boot cdrom' and it begins the boot process. At the
boot prompt on the "Welcome to Linux-Mandrake 7.0" screen I press enter or
type 'expert' and press enter. It continues the boot

Could you try to put your CD-ROM at a higher ID (say, 3 or 4)
just to check ???
Any idea how to do this? I don't really know anything about Sun hardware. To
the best of my knowledge, this is a standard Ultra Enterprise 1 with
internal hard drive and CD-ROM drive. I haven't opened the case. Is

PRTY - open
ID1 - open
ID2 - jumpered
ID4 - jumpered
I tried it with just ID4 jumpered and then with just ID2 jumpered. Both ways
it errors saying "can't open boot device" and then defaults to booting
Solaris from the hard drive.
Well, for myself it was on a PC not a Sparc, but it looks
like your symptoms are the same: look above, it says
"detected scsi disk ...". Also, /dev/sdb is specifically
for _hard disk_ in linux, _not_ for CD-ROM.
The boot messages definitely showed sdb being detected as a Toshiba
CD-ROM.
