I did let Solaris chew on the DVD and after some minutes it printed the
copyrights, but after that it begun to endlessly omit this line on the console:
[AFT0] Softerror: mem_ce_simm[] out of space.

Yes, it does matter. If you put the IDE controller in the middle of
the cable, the cable termination is wrong.

Okay, i took it back. I grabbed the original cables of the machine and swapped
them. The former owner somewhy plugges the primary HDD to the secondary cable
and the DVD is invisible if it's not primary slave and there is no primary
master HDD. Now it's the blue part which connected to the mother
So, it does matter, even with the 40 pin cables? Just because it is impossible
to put the longest part to the motherboard: the connector of the HDD and the
DVD are too far apart. And the DVD does not appear in "probe-ide", if the HDD
is not the primary master. (Any idea why?)

Cool, just a bit more patience, TCH, we will get this machine running :)
Usually the part where the cable is the longest goes on the motherboard.
Then you need to set the jumpers correctly as well for slave/master.

I see, so it can go for a while, even if it does not connected properly. Good
to know.
I replaced the 80 pin cables to 40 pin ones. Does it matter for the 40 pin one,
how it's connected?

I would like to give it to you, but i cannot. When i booted Debian up and got
the black screen, i can switch to another console and i see /var/log/syslog,
but i cannot copy it. I tried to mount an USB key (Debian sees it as /dev/sdc
and even the partition is visible as /dev/sdc1), but when i try

Frans is absolutely right. Unless you connect the cable properly, don't be
surprised by obscure crashes or hangs.

But it works if it's not the blue is connected to the motherboard! "boot cdrom"
works and it's not the blue which is connected to the motherboard. Or even if
the machine begins to boot, the later crash is because of this? What if i
connect the devices with a 40 pin cable?

And which cable is correct for this machine? Because now "boot cdrom" works

It's impossible to plug the blue connector to the motherboard. The DVD's and
the HDD's connector is too far from each other then. I need to put the middle

With IDE/ATA, it is vital that:
- You use the correct cable, 40 or 80 pins
- You place the devices in the right order on the cable. 80 pin cables will
usually have color coding. Usually blue goes on the motherboard.
- Jumper the options correctly on the devices. Master/slave on 40 pin

Ok, i'll get a serial cable then. But now, the booting up works, it's now the

What i think is going on ...
According to this: http://oscomp.hu/depot/probe-ide.jpg
The cdrom drive is not where it should be (it should be slave on the first
bus).
Thus the devalias for "cdrom" is wrong.
OP, move the cdrom to the correct bus, as described in the manual.

Hm, but Debian 9 boots up! I even got the PC-like charmode screen...but after
that it became blank. I'll try it with FreeBSD now.

I've tried the same layout (HDD=primary master, DVD=primary slave) with a 80
pin cable and it did the same thing. Tries to boot up the DVD, but stucks in
reading forever. Maybe it's something else.

This may be the case! I replaced the 80 pin cable with a 40 pin cable, mapped
the HDD as primary master, the DVD as primary slave and tried to "boot cdrom".
It now tries to boot up the Solaris DVD, but it tries to do for minutes...

I tried to jumper the drive as slave. The machine did not see it. I tried to
jumper it as CS. Same result. I tried to map it as slave AND CD and still not

The problem is, that i cannot even boot CD-s, which are definetly smaller than

The jumpers are fine and i believe the cables are too. Here is the result of

I remember, that there were serious issues with Sun Enterprise E250 and DVD.
1) Images larger than 2 Gb were not supported by firmware/OBP.
2) Images larger than 3.4 or 4 Gb were not supported by Hitachi DVD.
3) Not sure about DVD-RW support.
