Solaris 2.51 CDROM/sbus@1f,0 troubles

I am a new system administrator on a Solaris 2.51 box.   The box is on our network with a new name, IP address etc.  All the drives and devices appear to functional except for the CDROM.  
I can't mount, can't eject, can't unmount.
For example:
> mount -r -F hsfs /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s2 /cdrom
> mount point cannot be determined

Note:  Pressing the manual eject button on the cdrom drive doesn't do anything.  

More importantly, I am getting a startup error which is obviously the cause... but I don't know how to fix this:
Warning: /sbus@1f,0/SUNW,fas@e,8800000 (fas0) :
      Connected command timeout for Target 0.0
Warning: /sbus@1f,0/SUNW,fas@e,8800000 (fas0) :
      Target 0 reducing sync. transfer rate

fas:      Cmd dump for target 6 Lun 0:
fas      cbd=[0x12 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x30 0x0 ]
fas:       State=DATA_DONE Last State=DATA
fas:      pkt_state=0x7<CMD,SEL,ARB> pkt_flags=0x80a pkt_statistics=0x60

Warning: /sbus@1f,0/SUNW,fas@e,8800000 (fas0) :
      Connected command timeout for Target 3.0

Warning: /sbus@1f,0/SUNW,fas@e,8800000 (fas0) :

fas:       State=DATA_DONE Last State=DATA

Any recommendations on how to proceed?
thanks in advance.

It seems your machine has a problem in binding the physical device with the device itself. Maybe it is an hardware problem. But I'm not sure. Does any other device work properly? When you are in prompt mode (for example after shutdown with level 0) try with command probe-scsi to see if all the scsi devices are discovered correctly.
Please post the results

One thing I noticed today (after doing a reset-all command from PROM mode) is that I do get a light flashing on the CDROM drive, and it opens ok during bootup.... so it is getting power.

As for the result of probe-scsi : My system hangs when I run this command after shutdown or telinit 0.

I tried a boot -r command from the OK prompt, the result being an error that the file /dev/rmt/0 is not a symbolic link, and needs to be.  Would it cause any problems for me to get rid of this file, and substitute a sumbloic link to the file 'devices.../st@50:'??
