[Sunhelp] ?: NOT installable SunPCi packages

[Wonkyu Chang - Sun Korea SE]

Tom,

He got SunPCi 1.1.2 with Solaris 6 on U10.

As you know, you can use "sunpciflash" to update flash bios ONLY AFTER 
installing SunPCi package. He got the error message while also installing 
SunPCi package.

It was the problem that he couldn't install SunPCi package at all.
He couldn't add SunPCi package with pkgadd.

How can he update the flash bios before installing it?


Thanks,
WK Chang
