[SUMMARY] SunRay 1 boot problems /26D and /var/dt/Xerrors problem

Hello Sunmanagers,

first I wanted to thank everyone who replied to my message, some of you wrote me
back a couple of times. Thank you!

I had quite a suggestions that I will highlight briefly. The included:

>>> make sure and run the install per the docs

Yes, I did this, and have them printed up

>>> you need to search the archives. This has been discussed several times

believe me, I know the wrath of this list for one who does not do his homework
first and RTFM, search the archives, etc.

>>> did you install patch 114880-03

in my original message, I stated that I had patch 114880-04 installed

Russ LeBar nailed it on the head when he sent me this though:

# ls -lAF /dev/sunray /devices/pseudo/sunray@0:sunray
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 33 Apr 17 2003 /dev/sunray ->
../devices/pseudo/sunray@0:sunray
crw-rw-rw- 1 bin bin 242, 0 Apr 8 2003
/devices/pseudo/sunray@0:sunray

===========

for what ever reason, the install did not/could not create a
/devices/pseudo/sunray@0:sunray device. The install logs gave no indication that
the install had any problems. I could not manually create it myself either. But
all the other pieces were in place, i.e. flat files updated, daemons running.

In the end, I was never able to create the entry in the /devices/pseudo
directory, so I grabbed another disk pack and did a fresh Solaris 9 install.

Between the install document, and Andreas Hoeschler post that I found when I was
searching the archives (a copy is below in my original message), I had the
sunray software installed and I was logged into my Sunray in under an hour, from
a fresh Solaris 9 system.
