Hi You cannot boot from a Sil0680 based card (on Ultra10). Whether it is a raid model or not, with or without "jp0 jumper", neither by default, nor with that special FORTH-script-trick (I tried it myself). You could use the Sil0680 only as dumb (non-bootable) "data hdd" controller. The U5/U10's OBP's builtin low level drivers don't recognize it - in contrast to a cmd/sil_06*49* *with_jp0*. And SPARC Solaris's corresponding driver IMO still only addresses up to 128GB (just as with the cmd/sil_0649), despite the fact that the sil0680 itself is capable of supporting bigger hdd sizes.
