I'm having some fun trying to boot a Sparc Ultra 10 from an attached SCSI
disk. I have an OS install on the disk, and I've run installboot against the
relevant partition and it didn't bitch but I cannot manage to make it boot
from the prom - keeps telling me it can't open the boot device. I've tried
the possible variations on the bootname that I can figure (format shows the
disk as being /pci at 1f,0/pci at 1/scsi at 2,1/sd at 2,0 so that's what I tried, and
without the ,1 in the scsi specifier but no joy) Any suggestions ? to the
best of my recollection I've come across a command which translated sd names
to boot names but I can't rmember what it was - may well have been a SunOS
thing anyway, or a script I picked up on my travels.
