Hi,
I've been having problems booting ever since I re-installed solaris and changed
the partition configuration on my sparc10. I have three hard drives and the
root partition had been located on the smallest one. I changed this so that /
would reside on one of the larger drives during the solaris setup. I received a
warningstating that the eeprom would be changed to reflect the change in the
root partition location. I get the error message:
bootblk: can't find the boot program
program terminated
I've tried changing the "boot-device" variable and setting the jumpers so that
the drive I want is scsi id 0 before re-installing (again), but I still get the
same error no matter what I do. In retrospect, I should have just made the
particular partition that I needed on one of the big drives, but it's too late
for that and I don't want to have to go through re-installing again! (very long
process on a sparc10!)
Thanks in advance,
Brian
