if you don't see "Cobalt Networks" come on the LCD, something bad is wrong. First I'd check the ROM. Open the system and find the ROM socket (on the bottom mainboard, sorry :). If it is a socket, make sure it is tightly closed. If it is soldered, you're done. If it is soldered and does not boot, it would suggest that someone tried to flash the ROM and failed, or erased the ROM. > Try the OS Restore CD that came in the box with the product to rebuild > it.

If you can't get "Cobalt Networks" on the LCD, you can't get as far as OSRCD. -- Tim Hockin Systems Software Engineer Sun Microsystems, Cobalt Server Appliances [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ cobalt-developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-developers
