 |
|
here's my problem...
my system is an Ultra60, has 2 drives. my partitioning is:
/dev/sda1 /
/dev/sda2 /swap
/dev/sda3 whole disk
/dev/sda4 /usr
/dev/sda5 /var
/dev/sdb1 /home
well.. something is amiss, because when my computer boots, i get this response:
| Code: |
Rebooting with command:boot
Boot device: /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/disk@1,0:a File and args:
The file just loaded does not appear to be executable.

ok

i'm not really that familiar with sun hardware, but i figured that if i put in:
it does boot. so why is it looking for disk1:a instead of disk0:a?? and how can i change this so i don't have to manually enter that command to boot? |

oh fantastic!! thanks for the gentleness... i printed out the manual for setting up this sparc... didn't come across this page.. heh it's probably there within the 90 or so pages 
looks like a little
at the "ok" prompt did the trick, for those future sparc n00bs who spy out this thread with the same question.  |

Is it possible to update OBP values from within the operating system? I get a kernel oops when I try to write to /proc/openprom/options/boot-device.

Use the eeprom tool to update OBP settings.
