thank you for your reply.  i already tried that.  probe-scsi-all detects all the drives, but i am still getting the follow message on the console:

WARNING: /sbus at 3,0/SUNW,fas at 3,8800000 (fas0):
 Target 12 rejects our message 'BUS DEVICE RESET'
 WARNING: /sbus at 3,0/SUNW,fas at 3,8800000 (fas0):
 Polled cmd failed
 WARNING: /sbus at 3,0/SUNW,fas at 3,8800000/sd at 6,0 (sd6):
 SCSI transport failed: reason 'reset': retrying command

i am unsure whether the bus has gone bad or if the drive has gone bad.  unfortunately i don't have any spares to test this out.  the machine is a sun e3000.  how would i check for scsi termination and target confilcts?

thank you.
cheers, 
abs

prevent the system to boot automatically. Try something like below:


setenv auto-boot? false
reset-all
probe-scsi-all
boot cdrom

Verify that all your scsi devices are detected properly by probe-scsi-all
command, if not check the scsi link (attached properly, no target number
conflict, and terminated)

cheers,
