Hi all listers,
Thank you very much for your help. I have received a solution that
works for me, thank you Steve ;-)), using :
probe-scsi-all
show-disks
-> select my scsi disk + <ctrl/Y>
nvalias newdisk <ctrl/Y> and adding @3,0:a
boot newdisk
Met vriendelijke groeten - Bien � vous - Kind regards

Subject: [FW-1] OT: Sun Ultra5 boot
Hello all,
As you can see from my signature I am supposed not to have a lot of Solaris
experience ... and this is the
case ;-)) I know this question is of track but maybe someone can help me, or direct
me to a Sun/Solaris
mailing list.
We have an Ultra5 with two disks in it. From what I understand the 1st one,
Internal one, is an IDE and the 2d one,
external one, is a SCSI. We have Solaris 2.6 and CP 4.1-SP5 on the SCSI disk. Now I
decided to install Solaris 8
on the IDE disk to test NG ... the installation is done, but I need to reboot from my
SCSI disk now ... and I am unable
to find the syntax. Doing a probe-scsi-all tells me Target 3 - Unit 0 is available as
an IBM type disk.
From the command prompt I see:
boot-device disk:a /pci@1f,0/pci@1/pci@1/SUNW,isptwo@4/sd@3,0:a disk net
I understand this as boot from device alias disk partition a first, then try
/pci@1f,0/pci@1/pci@1/SUNW,isptwo@4/sd@3,0:a
then disk then network. Disk device alias points to /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ide@3/disk@0,0
which is the IDE disk.
I booted the Solaris 8 disk, and checked the /dev/dsk/c1t3d0s0 ... it points at the
SCSI id 3 disk, I even mounted that partition
and saw the data (ouf I didn't overwrite it)
So what is the syntax I should use to boot of this SCSI disk, known as c1t3d0s0
under the OS ?
