Hi I have a spark10 the hard drives are locked. I cant get it too boot or change in any way so I can get to root. How do I get the cmos so I can get too boot from cd or floppy.
Thanks
Charlie
 
You do not get into the cmos for that on suns. Start the system, hit STOP-A and at the OK prompt type "boot cdrom" (w/o quotes). Note - the cd has to have scsi id 6 (default) for the command to work without additional effort.
Good luck.
 
Hey Thanks A LOT!!!! that is soooo much help!! You would'nt belive how hard it that simple step was to figure out.
