Hi

I recently bought a Sparc 5, I'm trying to install solaris 8
in this machine.
When I run "boot cdrom" from ok prompt, it return error with "can not find the device".
This cdrom can be used when machine is up, but can't be used at ok prompt.
any idea about this issue?
Thanks

Roy

Take a look at this thread: thread60-73651. It sounds very similar.

Good luck.
