Hi all,
I recently jumpstarted a new Sun-FireV210, actually three, but one is giving me problems when I reboot from the OS or try to boot (including boot -s) from the OK prompt. BUT if the machine if powered down and you do a power-up it boots up directly with no problems.
The jumpstart on all three were identical and the other two do not show this issue.
I have compared the eeprom values and the devalias values one of the two machines to the one that is not rebooting and they are the same. About the only thing that is different is that the one causing problems is in the same building as me and I used a dumb terminal plugged directly into the ALOM port to jumpstart it, (the others are at remote sites and had the ALOM configured over the network).
I haven't actually set the netsc_ipaddr, nets_ipnetmask, etc., could this be causing it to seemingly lose connection on a reboot or boot, if so why not from an initial power-up???
Below are the eeprom values.
Any help is very appreciated and I will, as usual, summarise.
Regards,
David S.
