SUMMARY: problem with Netra X1 booting
2007-12-25 3:31:00
The most replies are pointing out I have no boot block installed and advice
me to use command installboot.
However, I have found out there is impossible to boot from mirror until we
replace first disk and re-jumpstart the whole system because for some
reason, the mirror is not work.
After the re-jumpstart and I go back to test:
OK boot disk2
And it is working find.
Does it mean the installboot command is not needed in general?
Does it mean that if the first disk failed again, then the disk2 should be
able to boot up without any problem or interfere manually? (in the condition
the mirror is successful)
Many Regards

Subject: problem with Netra X1 booting
Greeting,
I have a NetraX1 machine, it has two disks which c0d0t0 is a boot disk and
c0t2d0 is a mirror of boot disk.
now, the first disk failed and can not be seen anymore:
OK probe-ide
Device 0 ( Primary Master )
Not Present
Device 1 ( Primary Slave )
Not Present
Device 2 ( Secondary Master )
ATA Model: ST340016A
Device 3 ( Secondary Slave )
Not Present
But, the second disk seems accessable.
OK devalias
disk /pci at 1f,0/ide at d/disk at 0,0
rtc /pci at 1f,0/isa at 7/rtc at 0,70
usb /pci at 1f,0/usb at a
flash /pci at 1f,0/isa at 7/flashprom at 1f,0
lom /pci at 1f,0/isa at 7/SUNW,lomh at 0,8010
i2c-nvram /pci at 1f,0/pmu at 3/i2c at 0,0/i2c-nvram at 0,aa
net1 /pci at 1f,0/ethernet at 5
dload1 /pci at 1f,0/ethernet at 5:,
dload /pci at 1f,0/ethernet at c:,
net0 /pci at 1f,0/ethernet at c
net /pci at 1f,0/ethernet at c
cdrom /pci at 1f,0/ide at d/cdrom at 3,0:f
disk3 /pci at 1f,0/ide at d/disk at 3,0
disk2 /pci at 1f,0/ide at d/disk at 2,0
disk1 /pci at 1f,0/ide at d/disk at 1,0
disk0 /pci at 1f,0/ide at d/disk at 0,0
ide /pci at 1f,0/ide at d
floppy /pci at 1f,0/isa at 7/dma/floppy
ttyb /pci at 1f,0/isa at 7/serial at 0,2e8
ttya /pci at 1f,0/isa at 7/serial at 0,3f8
So, I tried boot from second disk:
ok boot disk2
Boot device: /pci at 1f,0/ide at d/disk at 2,0 File and args:
The file just loaded does not appear to be executable.
Could I get some advice, from this point, what I can do to bring the second
disk work for me?
Any advance will be appreciated
Thanks in advance
