[rescue] Ultra 1 boot from install CD fails

[Todd Vernon]

Hi friends,

I’ve been battling getting my Ultra 1 170e to boot solaris install from
CD.  It boots the NetBSD install fine.  I get exactly the same results if
it’s an actual CD or a ZuluSCSI cd image.  I get the same results on a
Solaris 7 install or Solaris 2.6 install.

Right after “using default device instance data” the spinning cursor
freezes.  Box will not L1-a after this.

I reset the NVRam and reprogrammed it with box type “80” and the same
problem persists.  The CD device is 512b blocks as well as the ZuluImage.

As I mentioned NetBSD install and execution works fine.

Any ideas folks?

Thx!
