OK, It seems that my scsi devices are ID 1 and 2.
Now, trying boot disk1 returns this message:
ok boot disk1
Boot device: /sbus/esp at 0,800000/sd at 1,0 File and args:
bootblk: can't find the boot program
Program terminated
Now, that looks like something that can't find an OS.
boot disk2 returns:
ok boot disk2
screen
Can't open input device.
SPARCstation 2, No Keyboard
ROM Rev. 2.2, 40 MB memory installed, Serial #4260777.
Ethernet address 8:0:20:e:d6:d5, Host ID: 554103a9.
Rebooting from disk2
Boot device: /sbus/esp at 0,800000/sd at 2,0 File and args:
The file just loaded Type help for more information
That almost looks to me like it just found an OS on the second disk.
Typing boot disk2 again returns something a touch more helpful:
ok boot disk2
Boot device: /sbus/esp at 0,800000/sd at 2,0 File and args:
The file just loaded
does not appear to be executable.
So, I think this means that I have no OS for this thing. Am I
interpruting this correctly? I just wanted to double check before rashly
reformating and installing.
I can't decide if this should be a Sun OS 4.1 box or a NetBSD machine.
I'm kinda leaning towards Sun OS. That brings up another question.
I thought that Sun had released the old SunOS 4 for free, but I can only
find places to download it for a Sun3 machine. Am I wrong here?
