Hi,
To further my boot problems on sunfire v100 ...
I tried removing the harddisk and booting from the cdrom and still had the
same problem. I re-connected the HD and as well the cdrom. Here are some
more info :
1. Somehow, the boot-device always shows as net. Even after setenv
boot-device cdrom disk it selects the net after the system is rebooted.
2. Booted from the cdrom (solaris9) and now I get the following message :
Warning: timeout: reset bus chno = 1 targ = 2
Googling it didn't return anything helpful either.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
-Ashish
