Boot Device Issues

Hi,

I have an ultra10 which has been provided for use as a workstation.
It apparently has Solaris 9 installed on it, but I cannot get it to
boot.

>From the ok prompt, it tries to boot from the network, even if I
change the nvram boot-device variable to disk. The machine has one
IDE device, which is probed with probe-ide, but appears not to have a
self test.

OBP version is 3.25.1 (yikes, how old!?).

I suspect the disk to be faulty, but I can't prove this, or test it.

What can I do to try to get it to boot from disk and display an error?

S.
