Sparcstation 5 Boot Problem
2007-12-24 20:16:00
I have an old sparcstation 5 with rom rev. 2.15. I want to boot from the
CDROM to install a Linux OS. The machine sees my SCSI CDROM and HDs (via
PROBE-SCSI) but when I issue the command BOOT CDROM, it says can't open boot
device. Additionally, when the sparcstation tries to boot on its own, it
displays
"Boot device: /iommu/sbus/ledma at 5,8400000/le at 5,8c00000 File and Args:"
before timing out trying to boot off the network. Any ideas? Thanks.
