<div dir="ltr">Though I would report back since several of you were so kind to offer suggestions. For a refresher I have an Ultra 1 that would run NetBSD just fine and boot the NetBSD install CD but could not boot any Solaris Install Image from CD or Image on Zulu.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">By chance I noticed that the year was wrong in the date. Everything else in the Timekeeper was fine. When I noticed the date being incorrect I set it and powered down and rebooted it. Again the date was wrong but the rest of IDPROM was still correct. I happened to have another Timekeeper with an external battery so I popped it in and reprogrammed IDPROM.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Solaris Install CD’s and images would then boot into the installer. Apparently, not all of Timekeeper fails simultaneously. There must be other values stored in there other than what you can see because I doubt the date was keeping the installer from running. Six months debugging finished!</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">The reason I was even pursuing this entire thing is 64 bit NetBSD runs SUPER slow on my Ultra 1. Compile times on my U1 are 2x my Sun IPC! I did a quick install of 2.6 on Zulu last night and compile times of the same library are more inline with my SS10 now. Still a bit slower than I would expect but I believe 2.6 is a 32bit OS and the Zulu pegs out at 10Mb/sec. Going expand the testing to Solaris 7 or 8 and 20Mbit SSD that I have.</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Thanks for the help guys!</div><div><br></div><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-size:medium;margin-top:0px"><div style="margin-top:0px;font-weight:bold"><div style="margin-top:0px"><div style="margin-top:0px"><div style="margin-top:0px"><font style="font-size:14px">Todd Vernon</font></div><div style="font-weight:normal;margin-top:0px"><font style="font-size:13px">Entrepreneur | Investor</font></div><div style="font-weight:400;font-size:13px;margin-top:0px;color:rgb(80,0,80)">Email: <a href="mailto:todd@toddvernon.com" target="_blank">todd@toddvernon.com</a></div><div style="font-weight:400;font-size:13px;margin-top:0px;color:rgb(80,0,80)">LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/toddvernon/" target="_blank">toddvernon</a></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></body></html>
