[SunHELP] Ultra 30 Long POST...

[Jeff Parker]

I just purchased my first SPARC, an Ultra 30, and the machine takes
about 5 minutes to fire up the monitor and display the boot loader
screen. After this it seems to be fine and goes into the POST and
displays the ARP errors (Note: There is no OS on the `30, and at this
time no CD drive.)

My question is; Is this normal, or a sign that something is fried (I
would like some advice before I purchase the seemingly pricey SunCD).

Thanks in advance,
Jeff
