yet more more (unsuccessful) attempts. These were all done with the serial port connected, but that's all. No monitor, no keyboard, no mouse.
1. JoshK mini-iso (20041015) Power up. Let solaris boot part way (I had the wrong baud rate set) send <BRK> ok boot cdrom system starts booting, panics unable to mount root. see joshk.log in attachment. The system does not respond to <BRK> or whatever, I had to power down. I tried again but had trouble after sending the BRK, the serial port was sometimes left in a mangled state; I had an ok prompt from the PROM but was unable to type anything. Sending <BRK> during the solaris boot always worked. 2. sarge netinst 20041015 Tried sending <BRK> during the solaris boot, as above. Fails to boot, cramfs problem. See daily.log Could not get around this by finding a magic moment to interrupt the boot. Should I be giving debian-installer/probe/usb=false ? It's not really clear to me usb is the problem in the tests above. Can I get the lspci data from within solaris?
