Yeah, that was my take on it too. I spent a bit of time taking your 
patch and playing with call-method, and managed to get a bit further; at 
least stepping through read in the debugger showed something that looked 
like a Milax CDROM sector. With the attached patch applied to current 
SVN, I now get the following:


OpenBIOS for Sparc64

CPUs: 1 x SUNW,UltraSPARC-II
