I just upgraded an Ultra 2 from Solaris 2.6 to Solaris 8. After the final
reboot, I get:

| rebooting...
| Resetting ...
|
| screen not found.
| Can't open input device.
| Keyboard not present. Using ttya for input and output.

| Sun Ultra 2 UPA/SBus (UltraSPARC-II 296MHz), No Keyboard
| OpenBoot 3.7, 512 MB memory installed, Serial #9696311.
| Ethernet address 8:0:20:93:f4:37, Host ID: 8093f437.
|
| Rebooting with command: boot
| Boot device: disk File and args:

And it just sits there. After 5 minutes I sent a "break", boot net from the
install server I upgraded from, and I can see the bootdisk just fine with
"format". I also tried to reinstall the bootblocks with "installboot
/usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0" to no avail.
"probe-scsi" in OBP detects all the disks just fine.

Thanks.
