Thanks Andy Hardy, Eugene Schmidt, Edward Valencia, and Bodenstedt,
Cathy M. With all your kindly help I have solved my problem.
I have ask the question about having problem to find ehternet card.
Original message:
Hi everyone,
I have installed Salaris 8 on an old SUN Ultra 1 SPARC machine. When I
boot the machine I will get the message as follow:
SC Control: EWP:0 IAP:0 FATAL:0 WAKEUP:0 BXIR:0 BPOR:0 SXIR:0 SPOR:1 POR:0
Probing Memory Bank #0 32 + 32 : 64 Megabyes
Probing Memory Bank #1 16 + 16 : 32 Megabyes
Probing Memory Bank #2 32 + 32 : 64 Megabyes
Probing Memory Bank #3 32 + 32 : 64 Megabyes
Probing UPA Slot at 1e, 0 SUNW ffb
probing /sbus@1f,0 at 0,0 nothing there
probing /sbus@1f,0 at 1,0 nothing there
SUN Ultra 1 UPA/SBus (UltraSPARC 143MHz), Keyboard Present
OpenBoot 3.3 224MB memory installed. serial #8436875
Ethernet address 8:0:20:80:bc:8b Host ID 8080bc8b
I don't if there is a problem on booting since I got these two message here
probing /sbus@1f,0 at 0,0 nothing there
probing /sbus@1f,0 at 1,0 nothing there
And also after booting, I tried to check the net work configaration and
use the command ifconfig at the root prompt and get the following message
#ifconfig -a
lo0: flags=100849<UP, LOOPBACK, RUNNING, MULTICAST, IPv4> mtu 8232 index 1
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
I think it should also display "hme:flags=xxxxxxx..." . But for some
reasons, it doesn't recoganize my ethernect card. Does anyone have the
same experience? Is it because I got the message "probing /sbus@1f,0 at
0,0 nothing there"? What does this mean and how to solve it?
I really appreciate all your help!
The answer is because I didn't do the plumb. So the solutions is
grep -w hme /etc/path_to_inst
ifconfig hme0 plumb
ifconfig -a
Thanks all
Mei
