I have an ancient Sparc Classic with 96MB RAM. I recently ressurected
it from the basement and it worked fine. Then I messed with the eeprom
and now it won't boot. I went into the eeprom mode by pressing stop-a
and changed a few values and entered "reset".
I tried a number of things with no success. The machine has 1 internal
hard drive. I also read a number of articles on usenet with no success
there.

It gives messages that it can't find the boot drive... I set it so its
NOT booting from net.

Anyone have a listing of how to setup the eeprom properly, using
setenv ? Or the eprom from the original machine. For example, if
someone has a sparcclassic, could you send a listing of printenv ?

Thanks, John

Have you tried using set-defaults?
