Hi, Guy. At the firmware prompt (ok>) type "devalias" to see a list of device aliases. You should see a list of disks (disk[0-?]). If the SCSI disk was recognized by the system before you did the Sol8 install (someone at some point would have done a "boot -r" or similar) then it _should_ be assigned an alias. You should be then able to determine what the alias is for the attached drive and then "boot <scsi alias>". Chris -----Original Message----- From: Roelandts, Guy [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2002 06.46 To: [email protected] Subject: [FW-1] OT: Sun Ultra5 boot Hello all, As you can see from my signature I am supposed not to have a lot of Solaris experience ... and this is the case ;-)) I know this question is of track but maybe someone can help me, or direct me to a Sun/Solaris mailing list. We have an Ultra5 with two disks in it. From what I understand the 1st one, Internal one, is an IDE and the 2d one, external one, is a SCSI. We have Solaris 2.6 and CP 4.1-SP5 on the SCSI disk. Now I decided to install Solaris 8 on the IDE disk to test NG ... the installation is done, but I need to reboot from my SCSI disk now ... and I am unable to find the syntax. Doing a probe-scsi-all tells me Target 3 - Unit 0 is available as an IBM type disk. From the command prompt I see: boot-device disk:a /pci@1f,0/pci@1/pci@1/SUNW,isptwo@4/sd@3,0:a disk net I understand this as boot from device alias disk partition a first, then try /pci@1f,0/pci@1/pci@1/SUNW,isptwo@4/sd@3,0:a then disk then network. Disk device alias points to /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ide@3/disk@0,0 which is the IDE disk. I booted the Solaris 8 disk, and checked the /dev/dsk/c1t3d0s0 ... it points at the SCSI id 3 disk, I even mounted that partition and saw the data (ouf I didn't overwrite it) So what is the syntax I should use to boot of this SCSI disk, known as c1t3d0s0 under the OS ?
