Message-ID: <Cu7zFp.9zL@newera.ab.ca> Sender: news@newera.ab.ca (News Account) Nntp-Posting-Host: ne3 Reply-To: dlgover@newera.ab.ca Organization: New Era Systems Services LTD. X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Date: Mon, 8 Aug 1994 14:11:48 GMT Lines: 21 I'm trying to install SunOS 4.1.3 on a old sparc 1 that has been put together with some spare parts. The disk I have is a Quantum ProDrive LPS 540. After successfuly labeling and formating the disk. The miniroot installs in the b partition and boots. The install continues to copy files to the disk and then requests a reboot. At this point the system tryies to boot but fails to even start with a "selected SCSI device is not responding" error. When you go into the new monitor and do a scsi probe the disk is there at scsi id 0. Does anyone know what might be wrong to prevent the system from seeing the disk at boot of VMUNIX when it can boot munix?
