Thanks to all of you who responded to my request for help
with booting from a Wren V. The general consensus was that
I should check to make sure I was properly installing the
bootblock. I checked my manuals again just to be sure and
the bootblock was being installed properly.
The problem turned out to be my boot command, I was using
>b sd(0,2,0)vmunix
to boot from sd2, this was incorrect. I actually should have
been using
>b sd(0,8,0)vmunix
because sd2 is drive eight attached to controller sw0. This
was revealed by grepping /sys/sun4/conf/GENERIC for sd2.
I had alos requested information about micro scsi to scsi cables,
The following vendors were reccommended:
NuData -- phone (201) 842-5757
Sun -- part number 530-1435-02, order number X931H, Cost $20
Uninet -- Phone and address unknown
Thanks again to all who responded and in particular to
