openboot

[peterj1974]

The default boot device on my sparc 10 is disk (as expected). When I boot up I get problems as the alias disk is set for is sd@3,0 when it should be sd@0,0. I have tried changing this with nvunalias and nvalias but it doesn't work. The alias for sd@0,0 is disk3, so I can boot by typing boot disk3, but I would like to find out why disk is pointing to the wrong device.
Regards
Peter

When you did nvunalias did you run devalias to set disk to the new setting prior to running nvalias.

Peter,
why change the disk ( to much iommu@00010000 ... typing ).
just do a setenv boot-device disk3 and you're done !
and b.t.w target 3 was the default boot device up to ultra and u[p there it changed to target 0 barazani
