I booted a Solaris 10 DVD using "boot cdrom" at the OBP prompt. The command failed. So then I tried "boot cdrom -s" to boot the CDROM in single user mode. That worked. I was able to install Solaris 10 w/out issue.
When the machine tried to boot off the hard drive, it failed. This is the error after running "boot disk0" from Open Firmware, and after it POSTs: Restoring the system. Please Wait... cpr_reset_properties: Unable to open /.cpr_default on /[EMAIL PROTECTED],0/[EMAIL PROTECTED],1/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0:a cprboot: cannot read saved nvram info, please reboot. Program terminated. And it simply leaves me at the OBP prompt. Then I run "boot disk0 -s", and the thing boots. I get a shell prompt and can navigate the drive. The problem is that single user mode is not very useful to me. I want to login as a normal user, and have access to the GUI and all the whistles, bells, and frills. The hardware: Sun Ultra 10 1GB of memory (recently added as you folks advised) WD800 HDD (recently added) This machine worked fine previously with a seagate hard drive, 128MB RAM, and Solaris 9. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
