drive not ready error 1

[biswajit123]

hi
I am unable to boot from cdrom, it gives "drive not ready" error.

ok probe-scsi
(shows cdrom as target 2)

ok devalias
(shows cdrom path as /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/disk@6,0:f)

ok boot /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/disk@6,0:f -s
(still shows "drive not ready" error)

what could the problem?
pl. help.

Thanx

The problem is your alias as shown in devalias is not the correct is not configured to t target 2 but to target 6.By default on sun machines the target address for a cdrm should be 6.

You have two options:
1. You can change the target of your cdrom drive to 6.
2. boot /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/disk@2,0:f (can vary from system to system).


Good Luck
