I just bought a Sun branded 375-0005 X6540A card in hopes I might be able to boot FreeBSD STABLE from it. I powered down the box, physically installed the card and powered up, then hit Stop-a and typed "probe-scsi-all". The OBP saw the card and saw the drive attached to the card seemed OK with it. Nothing remotely error-like printed to screen, just the expected Sun device pathnames. Still at the OK prompt I typed "boot" followed by the device pathname and the Ultra 5 rebooted. It failed to boot the drive. What's on the scsi drive you ask? A dump |restore of the OS that's running now on an ATA disk, i.e. a clone of the running ATA disk. Here is what dmesg tells me about the new Sun scsi controller. Is this card I paid $18 for not bootable? Does my OBP need updating? Can I flash the scsi card with Sun Fcode if it's missing? pci2: on pcib2 sym0: <875> port 0x400-0x4ff mem 0x2000-0x20ff,0x4000-0x4fff at device 1.0 on pci2 sym0: No NVRAM, ID 7, Fast-20, SE, parity checking sym0: [GIANT-LOCKED] sym1: <875> port 0x800-0x8ff mem 0x6000-0x60ff,0x8000-0x8fff at device 1.1 on pci2 sym1: No NVRAM, ID 7, Fast-20, SE, parity checking sym1: [GIANT-LOCKED]
