Happy Holidays everyone. I decided that the holidays should come a
little faster this year, so I treated myself to two 18GB IBM SCA drives
to upgrade my U30 workstation.
I backed up all my data onto tape, removed the existing drives and
popped in the 18GB'ers.
I booted a Solaris8 install cd (boot cdrom -r) and all was well...
formatted, installed mini-root, rebooted again.
However I keep getting a 'trap 3a' on boot and dropped to the OK prompt
right after the banner. I've never seen this and it's making me
crazy. I can type 'boot diskX' and boot right off the drive, but
autoboot no worky. (boot device is set correctly)
Just as a test, I popped the old drives back in and all is well.
Any ideas?
Gary
