Re: SPARCStation 1 questions
Bdale,
I have 4 sparcstation 1, and, 1 ipc here at work, running
SunOS 4.1.3U, and all of then would not work, unless the
drives I used, were sun preped drives. Also, the company
I use to work for, installed a large number of sun ipc,
ipx, sparc 1 ande sparc 2's in many brokerage houses, and,
these systems as well, would not reconize a non-sun prepared
disk. Now here at work, we have a sparcserver 1000 that uses
non-sun disks, but, that system is running solaris 2.4, the
boot drive is a sun prepared drive, and, the non-sun drives
are defined in /etc/device.tab. The info I gave Bruce comes
from my personal experience with these systems, if any of it
was incorrect, than for that I am sorry for the mis-information.

Say what? I must be missing something... the IPC and Sparcstation 1+ here
both are running with drives pulled out of my pile... not a Sun mech in the
bunch...
