SUMMARY: Automatic boot of Solaris 10 does not work
2007-12-25 4:57:00
thanks to Capser Dik the problem is solved:
try decreasing the timeout for boot;
/etc/bootrc (line 25)
and perhaps also:
eeprom auto-boot-timeout=1
It does mean you need to be somewhat quicker when you want
to interrupt boot.
And perhaps decreasing the blue screen timeout helps too:
/boot/solaris/strap.rc
This is a known bug in the real mode ata driver in combination
with certain harddisk (mostly seen on laptops with varying
degrees of severity.
Setting the timeout to 2 removes the error.

Original Post:
Hi,
I installed Solaris 10 on my Thinkpad T30 without problems except that
the automatic boot does not work:
Booting the partition with Solaris without user intervention ends with
a "disk read error". But when I enter "b" (when asked for i or b)
Solaris boots without problems.
The path to tthe boot device printed in both cases is the same:
/pci at 0,0/pci-ide at 1f,1/ide at 0/cmdk at 0,0:a
