The real question is can you boot from a SCSI disk? I have not been successful in doing so. I got NetBSD installed on it, but OpenBoot won't boot it. Solaris 8 (7/01) did not even see the SCSI disk during install. The latest firmware claims to fix booting from a Symbios controller, but it didn't for me. If you want the latest U5/10 firmware, it is at http://people.freebsd.org/~obrien/106121-16.tar.Z You can netboot the upgrade, or install from Solaris. -- -- David (obrien@NUXI.com) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-sparc" in the body of the message
