Afternoon all
Me again, fresh from my send-break-from-a-terminal question... :)
Same machine... SunFire V120. I fixed the looping-to-try-to-boot-wrong
device problem.
However, I am now in the following situation:
When I 'boot disk' - or just plain 'boot' (devalias showing 'disk' as
/pci@1f,0/pci@1/scsi@8/disk@0,0, as it should), I am getting the SunOS
banner, copyright, hostname and then
mount: /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s6 is not this fstype
The thing is, at no point in OBP does this non-existent device show up
(the internal disk is c1t0d0 and root is on s3, swap is on s0). It's not
an nvalias I've defined and it doesn't show up in devalias at all.
How can I recover from this? The machine isn't live yet, but rather than
reinstall it I'd like to recover it if possible. I wouldn't lose
anything obviously, but it's all good experience for me.
I was heading towards the thought that something in the kernel somewhere
is saying "the c1.... disk doesn't exist, so boot c0..." etc.
I can boot from cdrom to a command prompt and mount the drive no
problem. /a/etc/vfstab shows I have the correct slices named for root
and swap etc. I even did an installboot to s0 and s3 to see if that
helped. No dice. Anything wrong with my choosing 0 for swap (I was
kind-of forced into it from the original SunOS installation)?
Anyone got any suggestions? Of course, I'll provide a comprehensive
summary.
Thanks in advance and still enjoying myself with it.
Andrew
