[Sunhelp] OS Install

[Jarrett Carver]

try `boot Boot device: /iommu/sbus/espdma at f,400000/esp at f,800000/sd at 2`
It appears that your disk is in target 2 and your system by default boots 
off of target 3.

You can't format from the OK prompt, When you are at the OK prompt you are 
in OpenBoot, closest thing I think to compare would be a PC's bios. You need 
to boot up to the OS and then you will have the `format` command available.

When I try to start up my Sparc Box, I get the following error message, I am
logged onto it via hyperterminal.

"
Can't open input device.
Keyboard not present.  Using tty for input and output.

SPARCstation 10  (1 X 390Z55), No Keyboard
ROM Rev. 2.12, 128 MB memory installed, Serial #3256684.
Ethernet address 8:0:20:1d:43:6d, Host ID: 7231b16c.


,0   File and
args:
SCSI device 3,0 is not responding

Type  help  for more information
ok

When I give a probe-scsi-all I get
"
ok  probe-scsi-all
/iommu at f,e0000000/sbus at f,e0001000/espdma at f,400000/esp at f,800000
Target 2
   Unit 0   Disk     DEC     RZ29B    (C) DEC0007

ok
"
Any ideas what does it mean and what I can do to install the OS on this
machine.
Also, I have another HDD which already has an OS installation on it,  but I
want to clean out that disk and reinstall OS, any commands like format? avbl
from the ok prompt?

Regards,
Nabeel
