Hi,

Thx a lot for the answers I received !

I managed to boot the system once thanks to the advice you gave me. I
have edited the /etc/system file BUT:

A problem remains: The server boot only sometimes, if not it is looping
on trying to boot.

Here is what I get when the system is not booting:

During this loop, if I press during 5 sec the shutting down button on
the back of the server, and then send a poweron from the console, the
server is boot well with the following results:

So, I guess there is a problem somewhere, but I don't know where ...
Maybe I didn't edit well the /etc/system file? Here is it:

*ident "@(#)system 1.18 97/06/27 SMI" /* SVR4 1.5 */
*
* SYSTEM SPECIFICATION FILE
*

* moddir:
*
* Set the search path for modules. This has a format similar to
the
* csh path variable. If the module isn't found in the first
directory
* it tries the second and so on. The default is /kernel
/usr/kernel
*
* Example:
* moddir: /kernel /usr/kernel /other/modules

* root device and root filesystem configuration:
*
* The following may be used to override the defaults provided by
* the boot program:
*
* rootfs: Set the filesystem type of the root.
*
* rootdev: Set the root device. This should be a fully
* expanded physical pathname. The default is the
* physical pathname of the device where the boot
* program resides. The physical pathname is
* highly platform and configuration dependent.
*
* Example:
* rootfs:ufs
* rootdev:/sbus@1,f8000000/esp@0,800000/sd@3,0:a
*
* (Swap device configuration should be specified in /etc/vfstab.)

* exclude:
*
* Modules appearing in the moddir path which are NOT to be loaded,
* even if referenced. Note that `exclude' accepts either a module
name,
* or a filename which includes the directory.
*
* Examples:
* exclude: win
* exclude: sys/shmsys

* forceload:
*
* Cause these modules to be loaded at boot time, (just before
mounting
* the root filesystem) rather than at first reference. Note that
* forceload expects a filename which includes the directory. Also
* note that loading a module does not necessarily imply that it
will
* be installed.
*
* Example:
* forceload: drv/foo

* set:
*
* Set an integer variable in the kernel or a module to a new
value.
* This facility should be used with caution. See system(4).
*
* Examples:
*
* To set variables in 'unix':
*
* set nautopush=32
* set maxusers=40
*
* To set a variable named 'debug' in the module named
'test_module'
*
* set test_module:debug = 0x13

Thx for everything !!!

PS: follow the history of the message I sent:

Hi,

I'm a newbie with sun Netra X1, and I've inherited a configuration that
doesn't work: The last administrator has edited the /etc/system and put
a wrong line in it. The system refused to boot again, so he made plenty
of things to make it boot again whitout any success.

Nowadays, whatever I do, i always have a timeout waiting for RARP/ARP
packet. So I guess the server is trying to boot on the net ?? What can I
do to stop that? Is it linked to the problem in /etc/system? What is
your advice about that last problem? Without any cdrom reader, nor
floppy, I can't manage to make it boot in order to edit the etc system
...

THX a lot,

Jef
