openprom modified, then lockup. ;(
At work there's an unused Sparc 10, but that was upgraded with two disks,
SUN1.05 and SUN2.0S. An unused sparc with 3GB of disk space was a
true temptation... ;)))
I've installed potato, and wont boot (from HD) saying ``Invalid
Instruction''.
After some fiddling and testing with openprom, i've seen that default boot
device was disk, that was an alias for:
/iommu/sbus/espdma@f,400000/esp@f,800000/sd@3,0
so i've tryed some other, finding that:
/iommu/sbus/espdma@f,400000/esp@f,800000/sd@1,0
was the right choice. Now SILO boot! ;)
After i've set disk to be an alias to this last, with:
echo "/iommu/sbus/espdma@f,400000/esp@f,800000/sd@1,0" > \
/proc/openprom/aliases/disk
and system print "disk isn't unique", message that are also printed every
time the system boot up.
The problem now are that... everytime i try to access some file in
/proc/openprom, system LOCKUP, only thing i can do is Stop-B.
Some clue? Thanks.
