[SunRescue] CDE ramblings (was: Solaris on older Sparc boxes)

[paul pries]

Seems like we have some guys here who are good at HP stuff... :)

question; What's so special about HP CD Rom drives?
I tried to boot my 715/50 from a sun cd-rom drive but no go.
Anyone have a clue about this?

How about the 715/50? It is not in the official lists of 11.0 supported
machines. I could try it but it is much easier to ask... ;)

Yeah, I miss that too.
