Sun Enterprise 3500 - FC

["Giorgio Davanzo" <giorgio.davanzo@gmail.com>]

Greetings,
 I'm writing from an Italian University.

We just received a nice Sun Enterprise 3500, and we'd like to wipe its
Solaris OS, replacing it with a Debian Linux.

BUT

we're stuck with the FC disk problem. We've found the alleged solution
to the problem, but it's not working:

Someone suggested using microcode from SUN firmware (?)

Did anyone ever solved the problem? If yes, could you give us a hint?

thanks for any bit of help,
 Giorgio Davanzo
