Booting/CDROM problem
2007-12-24 22:45:00
I am using a Sun Ultra 5 system with solaris 8 on it. For some reason
this system does'nt boot properly. When ever I switch on the power the
system starts booting and just hangs after the message
Boot device: /pci at 1f,0/pci at 1,1/ide at 3/disk at 0,0:a File and args: -F cprboot
so I thought the system has crashed and started installing the OS again. I
inserted the CD and typed in "boot cdrom" at the OK prompt, but the
systems fails to boot and it displays the message
Boot device: /pci at 1f,0/pci at 1,1/ide at 3/cdrom at 2,0:f File and args: -F cprboot
Boot load failed.
The file just loaded does not appear to be executable.
Some other times it shows me:
Can't read disk label.
Can't open disk label package.
I even tried "boot cdrom -s", but the problem is same. I want to know, how
I can overcome this issue without actually installing the OS again, if
not possible atleast by installing the OS. Other ultra's seems to be
running fine. But this particular system I am unable to install OS or make
it come back to the original state. Any suggestions will be highly
appreciated. Also, I would like to know whether their are any ways to
capture the output at the Ok prompt. I will send summary as soon as solve
this issue.
thanks,
Aravind
