[SunHELP] Boot problems with Kodak badged Ultra 5

[Michael Horton]

Zachariah,

If the PROM is a functioning SUN OBP, the Ultra 5
should boot to the OK prompt.

A Sun OBP can be purchased from Sun (and problably
other sources).  The cost would be minimal considering
what the Ulra 5 is worth.

>From your description, the PROM is highly customized
and the code could even be loaded from the hard drive.

Kodak should have this information (and possibly SUN).


Hope this helps!
