> The entries below a device are dependend on the bios for the chip so I think I have an answer as to why I cannot boot using my Sun branded Symbios SCSI controller -- http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/Devices/SCSI/SCSI_Dual_UltraSCSI_PCI.html I have the 375-0005 part which does not have the FCode. AFAIK this is required to boot from OpenBoot. The version of the card with FCode was never released according to that document. :-( Considering this was a $500 card, \me kicks Sun *hard*! -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-sparc" in the body of the message
