There is a key combination to press (stop-A?) which drops from the auto-boot process, and drops you at firmware. Then you "boot cdrom". Sun's boxes IIRC use a freakish boot segment in the CD which is where all the magic is kept (a bit like El Torito on PC). Some of them MAY have been clever enough to detect an OS CD and prompt you if you wanted to boot from that (or not prompt you, and boot anyway..) - I am sure I have seen a couple of Sun boxes at previous jobs do that. Pegasos doesn't recognise any of this and it would be nice to keep it that way. "boot cd solaris" and ordinary files will do :D -- Matt Sealey <matt at genesi-usa.com> Manager, Genesi, Developer Relations
