Hi,
Thank you all very much for your responses - I thought I was going
crazy! The solution is:
The diag-switch? was set to "true", causing the machine to boot from the
diag-device, which was set to "net". (I don't know how this happened,
the machine was fine for 2-3 weeks).
I know you've all heard this before - but this is a _great_ list - I had
8 responses within an hour!
Thank you very much,
Jerry Cunningham

Hi,
I have a Sparcstation 5 that I can't get to boot from disk. When I do a
printenv at the console prompt, it shows:
boot=device disk disk net
But whenever I do a reguler old "boot", it tries to do a boot from
the network, and i get an ARP error:
Boot device: /iommu/sbus/ledma@5,8400010/le@5,8c00000 File and args:
Automatic network cable selection succeeded : Using TP Ethernet
Interface
