Searching for documents that might help

I got a drive from a friend and he is not sure what version of Solaris ( probably 9) is on it. I just bought a Netra t1 off Ebay and I got the following when I attempted to boot from the drive.

Netra t1 (UltraSPARC-IIi 360MHz), No Keyboard

OpenBoot 3.10.24 ME, 320 MB memory installed, Serial #11064828.

Ethernet address 8:0:20:a8:d5:fc, Host ID: 80a8d5fc.Boot device: none File and args:

Evaluating: bootCan't open boot deviceok:unsure:

I know this is probably a simple issue so any feedback or direction to a good white paper would be appreciated.

Can't open boot device

ok

:unsure:

What did you type at the ok prompt? Since, your system is used and we don't know the state it's in you can:

ok set-defaults
ok setenv auto-boot? false
ok reset-all


When the system comes back to the OBP prompt, you should type one of these (depending on the slot you used for the disk)

ok boot disk
ok boot disk1


You might have other issues as well ... what kind of system did the disk come out of?

for some reason, you created a Poll, and added half your information as options to be voted on... i have removed the poll and added the information into your first post.

Please let me know via pm if you really did want this to be a poll(?).

Thanks L1-a.. the set commands worked for me
I think the disk came out of an e250 its a scsi 10k rpm

Hi - I'm having a similar problem with my OBP - I've got an Ultra 10 (my first SPARC platform!) and I've put 2 x 9GB disks and 1 x 80GB disk in it, as well as a CDRW drive. They are arranged as so:

Device 0:
80GB hard disk

Device 1:
CDRW drive

Device 2:
9GB disk

Device 3:
9GB disk


if I do:

ok probe-ide

then I get the correct information as above.

However, I am unable to boot from CDROM.

ok boot cdrom

gives me:

Can't open boot device

I've tried running:


ok set-defaults
ok reset-all

and it still doesn't work.

ok show-disks

tells me that I have a CDROM, a hard disk and a floppy installed - I am not sure if I am reading this right? (am a total newbie when it comes to openboot - have no prior knowledge!)

So in closing - can someone tell me how to get this so that I can boot from the CDROM, and have all the hard disks available for the install?

Cheers!

Make sure there's noting wrong with the boot CD. That is, it needs to be bootable and support your hardware, etc
