Re: SS20 boot problem
It is possible that your disk is external or is not in the primary SCSI disk slot. Stop-A, as you have been doing. Type 'probe-scsi-all' to see where you disk is located. Type 'devalias' and find the matching alias (i.e. disk1). Set a new default boot device with setenv boot-device the-devalias-you-found. Then reset and all should be well with the world; well, depending upon where you installed SILO If you are worried that other OBP settings may be incorrect, you can hold down Stop-N during the boot process to reset your NVRAM parameters to defaults.

SS20 boot problem
I have an SS20 that doesn’t seem to boot now. Im sure the install went fine, im actually concerned that my boot parameters in OBP are not right. It currently is set to boot net, but I want to boot to the disk. Typing 'boot disk' gives me this: Boot device: /[EMAIL PROTECTED],e000/[EMAIL PROTECTED],e0001000/[EMAIL PROTECTED],40/[EMAIL PROTECTED],80/sd File and args Can't open boot device Is this the correct parameter for a single scsi disk? Im fairly new to sparc platform. Kurt --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
