I want to thank everyone who responded. Everyone came
up with # eeprom auto-boot?=true which in our case
was already set , but it was Jaime Dela Rosa who came
up with the little bit extra eeprom setting on ttya
that fixed our problem.
Here is his response:
most likely your eeprom setting has the auto-boot?
=false. change it to true.
i.e. inside Solaris:
# eeprom auto-boot?=true
and/or check these variables as well:
ttya-rts-dtr-off=false
ttya-ignore-cd=true
i hope this helps
