Hi FreeBSD,
I've been trying to get FreeBSD installed into a SunFire v215 server but
am stumped with this problem!
{1} ok boot cdrom
Boot device: /pci@1e,600000/pci@0/pci@1/pci@0/ide@1f/cdrom0,0:f
Short disk read
The file just loaded does not appear to be executable.
I've burned a bunch of CDs thus far, the
FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-sparc64-dvd1.iso,
FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-sparc64-bootonly.iso,
FreeBSD-8.1-RELEASE-sparc64-disc1.iso,
FreeBSD-7.4-RELEASE-sparc64-disc1.iso and none of them was able to boot
the system.
Even tried the openbsd and netbsd's iso to no avail!
Even ended up flipping CD-drives between another working Sparc v215
system. Didn't work too.
I've tried playing around with the boot devalias, tweaking the
"cdrom0,0:f" to "cdrom6,0:f" and other sequences. Didn't help.
Last resort, I "dd" the image into a secondary hard-disk and booted out
of that but came out with the same error message!=20
Would you kind folks have an idea and a solution to this problem? Thanks
in advance for your help!
Warmest regards,=20
