I did cut the CDs twice. Might want to check eeprom settings as well. bash-3.00# uname -a FreeBSD sphynx 5.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE #0: Fri Nov 5 19:30:40 UTC 2004 root@bobbi.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC sparc64 bash-3.00# -jb m wrote: >I just picked up a Sun E450, and I'm having installation problems. > >After I get the system banner and the "OK" prompt, I type "boot cdrom", and >get the following: > >Initializing Memory >Boot device: /pci@1f,4000/scsi@2/disk@6,0:f File and args: > > >The cdr DOES spin up, then the system totally freezes. > >I had thought I needed perhaps to have a serial console attached, in >addition to the keyboard/monitor, but that does not seem to make a >difference; nothing comes across on the serial terminal either. > >Any help would be MOST appreciated.
