Dear friends
I want to operate a hard disk cloned with ghost -ir .
the previous hard disk of sun ultra 5 crashed . It was running Solaris 1,2 and nsplus.
Now I get the message Boot device: net File and args:
Using Onboard Transceiver - Timeout waiting for AutoNegotiation Status to be updated
Please help
Kiriakos
Do you really mean Solaris version 1.2 ??
The machine is probably looking for a network boot because it cannot 'see' the hard disk.
Try booting with
ok> boot disk
Does it say there is no disk?
How did you clone the disk? Were ALL sectors copied?
Is it a SCSI or IDE drive? Are you sure the jumpers (SCSI ID/bus termination, or IDE master/slave) are set correctly?
Depending on how you cloned the disk are you sure that it has a Sun disk label?
Thank you for your answer
The disk is IDE 10 g and I cloned with ghost -ir which ignores the partition table
I will try the command boot disk and I will inform you soon.
I have also a cd containing a repair program for the specific nsplus but when I type boot cdrom I get the message can’t find boot table
If I’ll send you the contains of the cd do you thing I will be able with your instructions to type the commands manually from the cd?
Please forgive me for the stupid questions but I am totally unfamiliar with unix and solaris.
Please find attached a copy of the first monitor indication when the program was operating ( before HD crush)
And a list of the contains of the CD (where is the .exe command?)
Thank you very much for your time
Kiriakos
SunOS 4.x (named Solaris 1.y) does not run on UltraSparc.
Must be SunOS 5.x (alias Solaris 2.x later named Solaris x).
Please show the exact SunOS version!
uname -sr
And details about the Solaris version
cat /etc/release
Dear Moderator
when I type boot disk I get:

You have SunOS 5.6 alias Solaris 2.6.
You have two problems:
1.
your ID PROM (NVRAM) has bad checksum. Your hostid and MAC address are lost. This is in most cases not a show stopper.
2.
Your partition label is corrupted. You must boot a recovery system. Do you have a Solaris DVD? Then boot from it.
At the ok> prompt type
boot cdrom
Some openprom have a bug, a boot attempt corrupts memory. Type
reset
between boot attempts.
