Hi all.  My workstation woes continue...

My wife just bought a Sparc 10, 96 megs of RAM, 2x2.1G drives, sans
monitor, and it arrived today.  Upon booting it up, and consoling into
it, we've struck upon a problem.


Upon running probe-scsi-all, sometimes it says this:

ok probe-scsi-all
/iommu at f,e0000000/sbus at f,e0001000/espdma at f,400000/esp at f,800000
Target 0 
  Unit 0   Disk     SEAGATE ST32430N SUN2.1G0508

Missing scsi message. Fatal error.


...sometimes it says this:

ok probe-scsi-all
/iommu at f,e0000000/sbus at f,e0001000/espdma at f,400000/esp at f,800000
Target 0 
  Unit 0   Disk     SEAGATE ST32430N SUN2.1G0508        
                    Copyright (c) 1995 Seagate
                    All rights reserved     

ok

... and, yet, sometimes it says this:

Type  help  for more information
ok probe-scsi-all
/iommu at f,e0000000/sbus at f,e0001000/espdma at f,400000/esp at f,800000
Target 0 
  Unit 0   Disk Missing scsi message. Fatal error.
Memory Address not Aligned


On bootup, this scrolls across the screen:


Probing /iommu at f,e0000000/sbus at f,e0001000 at f,0  espdma esp sd st ledma
le SUNW,bpp SUNW,DBRIe mmcodec 
Probing /iommu at f,e0000000/sbus at f,e0001000 at 0,0  Nothing there
Probing /iommu at f,e0000000/sbus at f,e0001000 at 1,0  Nothing there
Probing /iommu at f,e0000000/sbus at f,e0001000 at 2,0  Nothing there
Probing /iommu at f,e0000000/sbus at f,e0001000 at 3,0  Nothing there


If I tell it to boot off the disk, I get:

ok boot disk
Boot device: /iommu/sbus/espdma at f,400000/esp at f,800000/sd at 3,0   File and
args: 
SCSI device 3,0 is not responding
Can't open boot device

ok 

Now, having surfed docs.sun.com, I've found that the default boot device
is 3,0.  The cgsix framebuffer shows up at 2,0.  I've tried switching
the drives around, unplugging one after the other, but to no avail.

Any thoughts?
