I'm pretty sure that there is a Sun screwup in the Ultra1 boot ROM such
that "probe-scsi" doesn't work right when "auto-boot" is
enabled.

Well, the RRD42 worked fine externally, so I tried it internally. No
good. So, as I was disconnecting it, the plastic (?) ribbon cable
started to tear away from where it connects to the HDD cage! That would
explain why the PROM never saw any internal SCSI drives!
Time to stick my CD in a SCSI case...

Well the RRD42, external CD worked. And I found out exactly why no CD
drive worked internally... the plastic ribbon cable was tearing away!
Oh well. Guess it's time to stick my CD-ROM in a SCSI case...
