Re: How can i boot *anything* on Sun Blade 100?
And which cable is correct for this machine? Because now "boot cdrom" works with 80 pin too.
It's impossible to plug the blue connector to the motherboard. The DVD's and the HDD's connector is too far from each other then. I need to put the middle (gray) one to the motherboard. When i got the machine it was that way.
It did not make any change if i mapped the DVD as slave or CS. What mattered that i had to put the DVD on the same bus as the HDD. If the DVD is alone then it only appears if it's the master.
I'll get a serial cable.

>With IDE/ATA, it is vital that:- You use the correct cable, 40 or 80 pins- You place the devices in the right order on the cable. 80 pin cables will usually have color coding. Usually blue goes on the motherboard.- Jumper the options correctly on the devices. Master/slave on 40 pin cables, cable select preferred on 80 pin cables.For the console ...You will need to set your output-device and input-device via setenv to switch the console to serial.On Mon, Apr 10, 2017 at 5:45 PM, transmail transmail@freemail.hu> wrote:Ok, i'll get a serial cable then. But now, the booting up works, it's now the OS-es what do not want to work. I'll get a DVD-R for Solaris and i'll wait for the next Debian image. Maybe this'll solve. As for FreeBSD i have no idea why it does freeze. Does the Blade still sends messages via serial cable after "boot cdrom" ?
