Bob,

Try sd(0,30,1) I'm pretty sure this worked on my 300 way back when, at least
with SunOS. The device numbers in the PROM are different than most other
Suns. The last number is the partition number IIRC, so you might have to
fiddle that one around to find the correct arch partition.

HTH,

Steve

Anyone have the correct booting incantations for a SparcStation 4/330
crate?  I want to try booting Solaris 2.4 from the cdrom.  I am
expecting it will be something like  boot sd(0,6,0) or boot sr(0,6,0),
but I am not all that sure from memory, and all my sundocs are in deep,
deep storage, so deep I could not locate them.  I did find the CD, though.

Thanks

Bob
