Hi People, I've been using FreeSBD for years on x386 machines, and just yesterday someone gave me a Sun Blade (Ultra-Sparc III) machine with an external SCSI CD-ROM. It has Solaris 8 pre-installed. My questions are.. Should I keep Solaris 8 or install FreeBSD? And Since I tried to install FreeBSD already and failed, how do I get the Sun Machine to boot from the CD I created for SPARC boot only? I tried using the eeprom command and changing the boot device to "cdrom" and and I also tried the init 0 thing however when I probe-scsi nothing comes up. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
