As I feared it's not possible to run anything but solaris 8 on the system,
many thanks for those of you who mailed me to confirm this, at the moment
I've tried running an upgrade over the Solaris 2.5.1 ufsrestore however I am
now getting some truly bizzare errors, after the upgrade finishes using the
webstart 3.0 installer, it tells me that it failed and to check install_log
for details and gives me the path to the file.

The file does not exist.

On rebooting I got the Solaris 8 kernel startup and the init asterisk thing
happening, and then various warning messages about not being able to find
entries in dev/grppm etc etc etc and forced back to the openboot prompt, if
I tell it to "go" it kernel panics, I am trying the upgrade again over the
top but at this point in time I don't have high hopes for it.

Has anyone come across this before? it's now 12:02am and I am feeling a
little sleepy. ;)

Once again, thankyou for assistance already rendered. Special thanks to
"Greg" who referred me to the http://sunblade100.wells.org.uk/ site which
has proved to be quite a definitive resource to all Blade 100 related
queries thus far.


Regards

Eric
