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 Jason Leong Subscriber Data Management, Converged Core Nokia Siemens Networks Web: www.nokiasiemensnetworks.com
