Hi, I think I finally figured this out whilst trying to solve a similar problem later on. Once I built the machine from CDs using a keyboard and monitor I found that it wouldn't boot after removing the keyboard. I did a search and came up with the ttya-ignore-cd problem mentioned here : http://www.sunmanagers.org/pipermail/sunmanagers/2003-March/020847.html I'm fairly sure this was the reason why jumpstart was hanging as well as I was jumpstarting without a keyboard. The acid test would be to jumpstart the machine now I've changed the ttya-ignore-cd setting, but the machine is now in production. Cheers, Alex..
