Does boot disk work at the ok prompt? Does your system have some sort of switch that is set in the diagnostic position? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (SunOS) iD8DBQFAl6ZavmGe70vHPUMRAnbEAKC9pjAH9xWcZsv/I/6nS9w1piNX2ACgsMPR HUKqv9NEzSP+2hJONDk/hK4= =aVwO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- |

If so, then type: "setenv boot-device disk" then the following: "printenv boot-device" It should display: "boot-device disk disk" now type the following to save the change: "reset" Alternatively you download the Solaris Administrations Guide, Volume 1 from http://docs.sun.com Cheers, Paul. |
