Re: Sun Blade 1000/2000 Problem
Using the serial connection, will I get to see the entire boot process? Wow, that would be great. Again..I just want to install OpenBSD + sshd + static IP and I'll be set.

So I don't have a Sun Monitor, just a regular CRT. I'm given two places to connect my monitor, one on the Bellerophon daughter board and another standalong VGA/DVI PCI Card.

Any help appreciated, Vivek You should have serial management port installed on your Sun Blade 1000/2000, all communication in/out are going threw this port. Try to boot from install43.iso from sparc64 architecture on it. Regards, Mariusz Makowski
Sun Blade 1000/2000 Problem
Hi guys, This is really an OpenBSD, but because I was going to install OpenBSD on it, I figured you all with Blade experience can help me troubleshoot this problem. So I don't have a Sun Monitor, just a regular CRT. I'm given two places to connect my monitor, one on the Bellerophon daughter board and another standalong VGA/DVI PCI Card. I have no experience with Sun computers whatsoever. So I power on the computer. It turns on for like 5-10 seconds and then turns off. The Red LED on the Daughterboard blinks when I turn it on. What does this mean? Also should I remove the non-compatible Sun graphics card so I can get an image with the other VGA cards? They're nice systems but unfortunately, they power on and then just power right back off. Any help appreciated, Vivek
