[SunRescue] Help me resucitate this Sparcstation 5

[Mike Turner]

	Hello all, 

	I havea sick sparcstation 5 (64 megs ram , 1.5 gig HD, microsparc ][
processor , cd-rom internal, rom rev 2.15)here and I need your help. For
some reason it does not want to join the land of the living. Here are the
symptoms  I have seen.
	 When I first got my hands on it , the machine would constantly
reboot when powered up. I have gotten that to stop now. I have the 1.5 gig
IBM hard drive in the system formatted and ready to go. I can boot cdrom and
enter the single user shell from the cd-rom for the solaris version( this cd
is solaris 1.1.2) , if I try and do this trick with my solaris & cd the
system automatically reboots when I type in boot cdrom giving me no chance
to get to the user shell.
	Now the problem is I want to install solaris to the HD I have. I
have been trying to install 1.1.2 simply because I have that cd handy and it
is the only thing I can get to give me that option. Unfortunatly when I try
to install the system poops on itself and reboots. These are messages I am
getting (found on screen after reboot)

 and then I am back at the normal startup screen for this system. Anyone got
an idea of wat is causing this , and even better, how to fix it? Memory
checks performed at startup show the system to be fine.

    Also when I start the install I am getting a message at one point that
says
WARNING: preposterous time in the file system -- CHECK AND RESET THE DATE!

	Rarely, it will give me a peice on the install that looks like this
Extracting miniroot ...

Mini-root Installation complete

 Then I go to the above messages starting with the Async memory fault

	If you got any idea, message me back , I am willing to try anything.
