this may or may not be related..........but ever since i installed a new
boot prom on my
ss20, if i manually turn the power off to the box then re-apply power it
sits there for
about five minutes with just the power supply fan and the hard drive fan
running, the power LED is on..........then the monitor, (GDM17E10) will
switch on and the OPB screen will come up, another weird thing about
this prom is setenv seems to not work, it will not remember my settings,
if i change boot-device to disk it still comes up trying net as
default....is this a bad prom or is the nvram going? what is the
program kris speaks of that lets you change prom settings from linux?
Try entering 'setenv diag-switch? false'. You replaced your boot PROM
so it reset to diagnostic mode. The default in diagnostic mode is to
try booting from the net, despite what boot-device says.
