Re: Choose boot disk?



type L1-A before it says 'boot device: /sbus/esp/sd@3,0  File and args:'...

then you get the PROM prompt.  If it has a '> ', try typing 'n' to get to the
new command mode, which has a prompt of 'ok '.  I believe the command is
(someone correct me if I'm wrong)

[>n]
ok setenv boot-device /sbus/esp/sd@[your sda's scsi ID],0

and that should do it.  The best place to confirm this would be OpenBSD's
installation procedure for the SPARCs, since it goes over a lot of PROM prompt-
specific stuff.  Just skip the OpenBSD installation itself :-)
