The problem really does sound like it's with the BIOS not supporting the ability to boot off of an external controller. This would be something Sun would have to address, would it not? Also, for what it's worth, I have a couple Intel boards which also exhibit the same issue (re: can't boot off of an external controller). The solution I went with was to use the onboard SATA controller instead of my Promise controller. :-) -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
