[SunRescue] Two Ill Ultra 1's

Howdy!

I've got a couple problems with a pair of ultra 1's that we have at work:

First one:
About 6 months ago these two ultra's were on site and we os'd them with 
solaris 7 with no problem, We then send them off site where as far as we 
can tell
they sat for the last 6 months, One came back working, the other didn't. We 
have no idea what was done to them off site.

When the first ultra is turned on it blasts 'Red State Exception'  out the 
serial port and never comes up with Open Firmware

Second one:

This ultra works except for a scsi oddity, I just added a drive to it (17 
gig seagate ST317438LW/LC ) and when I do a probe-scsi it shows up as every 
device under ID1 (This is from memory, I' know it shows up about 7 times 
but I don't have the specifiic output)

I'm thinking this is a not so good thing, but the drive appered to work 
once I stuck it in, did a format and a newfs on it, until I started 
installing oracle 9i (BTW is there any way to do a text only install? of 
oracle), then It ran into a problem creating directories with a io error 
(again from memory)

Suggestions?
