One fellow suggested low-level formatting the scsi hd's in the SB2,
on a pc.  I was thinking something like one of my VAXen would do,
since they have a rather nice rom low-level formatter that will 
fairly well format anything hooked up by reading the drive prom info.

Anyone have any insights as to whether or not a SparcBook 2 will
boot via cd if it has clean factory low-level drives, as received
from a manufacturer?  Long shot, but maybe worth trying.  I really
would like to get that parts box up, rather than parting it out,
since it has a pair of 350mb drives.  Surely, there is some way
to reinstall Solaris 1.1.1 B1.1 on it, off CD, from scratch?

Any insights are appreciated.
 
Thanks

Bob
