Just out of interest, what did it cost you for the second CPU ?  I'm  
looking at upgrading mine to two CPUs, but SUN want arms, legs and  
other body parts for the second processor.


I bought two old Sunblade 1000 with single 750Mhz cpu from a company
in Brussels, and put all RAM, HDD and CPU in one box.

Did you ever have any problems with the fans ?  Mine seems to fire  them 
up full-speed after the POST, and leave them there, when under  Solaris 
they seem to drop to a more managable (quieter) level).


Same here! With Solaris 8 the box is a lot quieter!
(I installed it yesterday...)



Also, what keyboard type did you use in X ?  I'm using a Type 6  
keyboard and X seems to recognise it as something wierd.


I don't use X (at least not on the sunblade).

updating openboot environment

2005-12-28 Thread Paul Cobbaut

Hi,

I'm new here, and am delighted with the activity in this newsgroup!

I just installed debian/testing on a (cd-less) Sunblade 1000,
added a CPU, a disk and some memory afterwards, and all works fine!

the question...which debian tool allows me to configure the openboot
environment ? Or do i need to go into the openboot prompt and
use setenv ?

cheers,
pol :)
