| I think I've done about the stupidest thing yet, I've managed to turn my PCI I/O board into a CPU board, firmware wise (long long story, but to sum it up, be careful playing with mknod and flashprom entries!), along with turning some CPU boards into I/O boards, as far as the system can tell. I followed Sun's procedure at http://docs.sun.com/source/817-4347-10/newPROM2.html that would normally be followed for power failures (I bet Sun never imagined what else could happen to their boards) and was able to recover the CPU boards since I had a couple that still had the correct firmware on them, and I could do the copy operation, however, I don't have another PCI I/O board to pull down a good firmware to do the copy. Anyone know if there are any other ways it can be fixed such as inside the OS or anything? Does anyone offer a firmware recovery service? Thanks, Brian |
