Hi,

Thank you to J. Oquendo, Andrew Rotramel and Chris Cariffe for responding.

To answer your generous suggestions:

Yes: I have tried to boot up with just boot, boot disk and boot -s. I
recieve the same response. I can boot up from the CDROM but as I mentioned
earlier - I'm new to the Solaris world and when I boot up from the CDROM all
I get is the install options.

I've run probs-scsi-all -f from the ok prompt. (It looks like the same
drives)
I recieved the following:

ok probe-scsi-all -f
Resetting ...
Netra t1 (UltraSparc-IIi 440MHz), No Keybaord
OpenBoot 3.10.27 ME, 256 MB memory installed, Serial @127416
Ethernet address 8:0:30:c2:6b:59, Host IDL 80c26b59

Executing last command: probe-scsi-all
/pci@f,0/pci@1,1/scsi@2
Target 0
Unit 0 Disk Seagate St31820.... 034A
Target 1
Unit 0 Disk Seagate St31820 ... 034A

Boot device: disk File and args:
Boot Device: /pci@1f,0/pci@1,/scsi@2/disk@0,0File and args: -s
not found: plat_freelist_process
not found: startup_platform
krtld: error during initial load/link phase
panic - boot: exitto64 returned from client program
Program terminated
ok

I verified the OBP Version:

ok .version
Release 3.10.27 ME created 2000/06/22 16:45
OBP 3.10.27 2000/06/22 16:45
POST 1.17.0 2000/03/06 12:18
ok

Is this version ok?
It doesn't seem to understand limit-ecache-size it spits out
limit-ecache-size?

I'm attempting the upgrade the install again but wont set it to reboot on
it's own. I'll keep moving foward with your suggestion from #8 on.

wish me luck...

and thank you again very much

1. Verify OBP version by typing .version at the ok prompt or use the
/usr/sbin/prtconf -V command at the UNIX prompt. If needed, upgrade to
at least flash PROM version 3.2.21 using patch 103346-22 or greater.
2. ok setenv auto-boot? false
3. ok setenv diag-level min (this will reduce the POST recycle time)
4. ok reset
5. ok limit-ecache-size
6. ok boot cdrom (minimum OS support is 2.5.1 HW 11/97 or 2.6 HW 3/98)
7. Install the OS but do not allow auto-reboot!
8. # init 0
9. ok reset
10. ok limit-ecache-size
11. ok boot
12. Once the system boots, install the latest kernel patch.

Once the last kernel is installed, the limit-ecache-size is nolonger
needed.
