SUMMARY: Booting a Ultra 1 disk on a SS 5

Hi

Thanks for a lot of answers! Most people pointed out that it's not possible
to boot the ss5 on the ultra1 disk. I mounted the disk on the other ultra
(I could have done it on the ss5) to repair file systems and copy data to a
linux box. Most of the services are running there now. Some suggested
mounting the disk on the ss5 and then running things from there. I didn't
try since the ss5 runs solaris 7 and the other disk has the solaris 2.6
system.

Thanks to
