Thanks to Coy Hile and Jeffrey Donovan. I tried an installboot, but that didn't help. Jeffrey hit it, though: I could do an update install. After the flash install on the V890, I did a boot net and did an update install of 02/04 off my jumpstart image. That did it! Thanks! -Adam -----Original Message----- From: sunmanagers-bounces@sunmanagers.org [mailto:sunmanagers-bounces@sunmanagers.org] On Behalf Of Adam Levin Sent: Sunday, April 03, 2005 10:12 AM To: Sun Managers Mailing List Subject: problem jumpstarting a V890 I'm having trouble properly jumpstarting a V890 using flash archives. We have flash archives of V240s and V210, but this is our first V890. The flash archives from the older machines are Solaris 8 07/03, patched. They have /usr/platform/SUNW,Sun-Fire-V890, which tells me that they should support the V890 platform. Note that we could not jumpstart with the unpatched 07/03 boot image, because it did not natively support the V890. We installed the 02/04 boot image, and then I was able to boot the V890 over the net. So, we lay down the flash image, but I get the boot: cannot open kernel/sparcv9/unix Enter filename [kernel/sparcv9/unix]: I'd love to be able to use the flash archive instead of rebuilding a system from scratch with Solaris 8 02/04. Is there any way to do that? The 07/03 flash archive isn't the *most recent* patch cluster, but it's within the last few months (enough so I at least see the V890 /usr/platform directory). Where is "kernel/sparcv9/unix"? Am I having a bootblk problem here?
