Fresh from my success at getting the CDROM working on the Ultra 10, I thought
Ibd try the Sparcstation.
This is a 1+, so quite early.
Its got a HD fitted, which checks out OK on the ULTRA (attached via an
external box).
Ibve plugged the CDROM drive into the Sparcstation, and typed
b sd(0,6,2)
at the prompt. The CDROM drive whirs and the read light flashes and then it
says
Booting from: sd(0,6,2)
Bad magic number in disk label!
The file just loaded does not appear to be executable
Now I know the CDROM and media is OK as it works on the Ultra 10.
probe-scsi
on the Sparcstation sees the CDROM drive correctly, and the installed hard
drive.
I installed NetBSD on the hard-drive and it boots OK off that so Ibm fairly
sure the disk is OK.
Anything else I could try? NVRAM on the sparcstation is OK - I replaced it a
few years ago.
Thanks :)
