Hello,<br />
<br />
Back in the chain of replies, i think someone asked if you'd "booted the<br />
machine with the diag-switch" but i didn't see a reply.<br />
<br />
That's explained a bit on page number 37 "Controlling Power-on Self-test"<br />
of this:<br />
<br />
<a href="https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19457-01/801-7042/801-7042.pdf" target="_blank">https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19457-01/801-7042/801-7042.pdf</a><br />
<br />
(Which counting from the start of the PDF is the 57th page.)<br />
<br />
"boot -v" might also reveal some more details around where it's hanging?<br />
<br />
best, johan<br />
<br />
<br />
