[SPARCbook] Re: Can't boot 3GX off the external SCSI floppy

[Deogun Daniel N]

Dennis,

Ok, I don't know what you've done previously, but try to enter the boot
device string that is displayed during startup, and change the scsi id
from 3 to 5 at the end <- this worked for me! :)

Thus, enter following at the boot prompt:

ok boot <boot device string with id 5>

 Dan.
