Alright, I have read and read everything I could find on the internet about this and tried everything to no avail. First off, I'm a UNIX/LINUX and OpenBoot n00b. Heres the issue:
Ive got a Sun Ultra 10 work station.
In it I have:
DVD-RW With Lightscribe over PATA
UPA Graphics card
Sun SCSI Card (pci)
Seagate SCSI 10K RPM 160 GB Disk (i know im limited on size)
768 MB or RAM
and 440MHz UltraSparc IIi 64-bit
This system worked very well when i had a PATA disk in it, but was very slow due to it only being ATA-66. So I was like "Hey, SCSI will speed up my system!".
I can boot the Sun Solaris 10 installer DVD-ROM in the DVD drive with no issue, and can even install Solaris 10 to the SCSI disk. But when I reboot, I get the infamous:
"Bad magic number in disk label
Can't open disk label package"
Ive tried a great number of things with no success. I have tried using "format" with "label", which did not work. I have tried setting the device up in open boot. I have tried to ensure that the device id is set properly on the hardware. (ID: 0)
I would have figured that since the OS installer (Solaris 10) was able to read and install to the SCSI disk, that it could have set the boot parameters correctly.
From the Solaris 10 installer I do know this about the FS structure:
root device c1t0d0
file systems
c1t0d0s0 / 8188 MB
c1t0d0s1 / swap 512 MB
c1t0d0s7 /exporte/home 61297 MB
If that helps at all.
Attempting the command "boot /pci@1f,0/pci@1/scsi@1/disk@0,0:a" does not work.
If i "show-disks" I get this:
a) /pci@1f,0/pci@1/scsi@1/disk
b) /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ide@3/cdrom
c) /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ide@3/disk
d) /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ebus@1/fdthree@14,3023f0
q) NO SELECTION
Im at a loss, I just need help from someone who knows what the heck their doing. Did Sun want to make this so hard that no one could ever get their computers up and running? I do miss you though Sun......
Thanks mates!
