Hello, gurus,
I have a slight problem installing Solaris 8 10/00 on a Sunfire V100,
and can't find anything in the archives.
I first used an install server I had installed several Netra X1's with
succesfully. I added the V100's mac address to the server with
add_install_client. But when I boot from the net to begin the install,
the V100 I'm installing hangs with a "2bb00" prompt.
When trying to install with the CD's, it hangs with a "Can't load tod
module". This reminds me of some problems in the versions of Solaris 8,
or a problem with the network driver. However, what puzzles me is that
the network interface is a dmfe, which is the same as the NetraX1's, and
the Machine came preinstalled with Solaris 8 10/00 from what I could
read from the docs.
Right now, I'm installing it with Solaris 9 from the CD, and everything
seems to go smoothly, but I'd really like to keep all of my NetraX1's an
SunFire V100's with the same version of OS for uniformity and ease of
maintenance reasons. I'm not the only one intervening on them, so I'd
like to keep everything as simple and uniform as possible.
So, if anyone has succeeded in installing a SunFire V100 with Solaris 8,
I'm all ears. Else, I'll just have to do with Solaris 9.
I have to make my final choice between keeping Solaris 8 or going with
Solaris 9 by Thursday, which is the reason I posted on this list.
I'll summarize, of course.
Thanks in advance,
Rami Aubourg
