[Sunhelp] Booting E4500 from D1000s

[Brian Canada]

Thanks for the help guys.  I remember that now from a couple years back.  It worked but now I'm having CPU panics.  Not one of my more pleasurable 4500 installs.

Brian,

There are 2 possibilities;
1) OBP variable "diag-switch" has a value "true", which triggers extended post diagnostics and then attempts to
boot from the diag-device which defaults to net. So set the Diag-switch value to false.
2) Also check if the E4500 ket switch position is not turned to diagnostics, which also the triggers the above. If
so, change key switch position to "on" (vetical bar).

Regards,
Afrose
