[SunHELP] Help I've killed my Ultra 5

Well, it took a few goes but it ran though a test-all fine, that is if you
don't count the fact it hung partway through the fest attempt to run the
command. Then again I had to do a stop-a to get it to the ok prompt which is
never great.

Is there anyway I can make up a boot disk and re flash the machine. Bearing
in mind the fact that I have access to no solaris boxes especially sparc
ones. Do have access to several intel linux boxes though.


Thanks in advance

Richard

Might be an idea to do a "test all" from the PROM. Could be dodgy memory
for example.

best wishes,
