Hi all,
Original question:
>Is it possible to boot a SPARCstation 1 from a CD: it claims that the available
>boot devices are fd, sd, st and le (ie floppy, hard disk, tape and network)?
An overwhelming response, the answer was of course
>b sd(0,6,2).
Nigel Tuckey (esrdw@csv.warwick.ac.uk) explains further:
The SPARCstation 1 has the 1.x version of the boot PROM. To boot from the CD
it is necessary to issue the following command
> b sd(0,6,2)
or
ok boot sd(0,6,2)
On boot PROMs 2.x onwards (SPARC2's etc.) you would use the following:
> b cdrom
or
ok boot cdrom
