The device path for the DVD-ROM, assuming this is a Sun Blade 1000/2000,
should be:

/pci@8,700000/scsi@6/sd@6,0

Unless someone changed the default alias for 'cdrom' in the NVRAM it should
already be correct per your probe-scsi.
If SD-M1411077 is the same as the Toshiba SD-M1401 then make sure you have
applied firmware patch 111649-04.

What does:

# iostat -E | grep DVD

from the currently installed OS say?

Definitely apply patch 111649-04 which will upgrade the revision to 1009 and
should allow you to boot off of newer media.
