SPARCstation 5 - Sol 8 on ST39150N
2007-12-24 19:11:00
I'm trying to put Solaris 8 onto an aging SPARCstation 5 with a 9GB Seagate
disk, in order to build an install server dedicated to the X1 revolution,
ahem.
After s.l.o.w.l.y. booting from CD and starting the Solaris 8 Webstart
installer 3.0, the install kernel boots and searches for disks, during which
time the ST39140N goes "offline". Error given below:
WARNING:
/iommu at 0,10000000/sbus at 0,10001000/espdma5 at 0,840000/esp at 5,8800000/sd at 1,0
probe-scsi sees the disk fine (target 1 at the mo').
Am I missing a jumper on the disk to stop it spinning down? If not, what
have I missed?
Thanks,
--Rob.
