I tested with the following - TC1 netinst 2004.06.15 md5 0084e8c472e7a901c503a11648d76a58 daily netinst 2004.10.24 md5 ? "siloNMU" 2004.10.27 md5 ? RC2 netinst 2004.11.24 md5 b69043246ee19c5f8a7a40c17b3f497f daily netinst 2005.03.12 md5 d4f7f8c0969d8bd1c9d51f71296f78b2 RC3 netinst 2005.03.23 md5 95042ee7c74ce5a512ecaba41cea225d gentoo 2004.3 release (install-sparc64-universal) No idea where the "siloNMU" disk came from, maybe joshk. TC1 uses SILO 1.4.5, RC3 uses 1.4.9, the others use 1.4.8 All these failed with the MMU miss, except for RC2. It failed in a different way. typical output: # halt ok setenv auto-boot? false ok reset-all [reboots] [insert cdrom ] ok ok boot cdrom Boot device: /sbus/[EMAIL PROTECTED],8400000/[EMAIL PROTECTED],8800000/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0:f File and args: SILO 1.4.8 Fast Data Access MMU miss ok boot cdrom [ reboots ] [ runs memory test ] Boot device: /sbus/[EMAIL PROTECTED],8400000/[EMAIL PROTECTED],8800000/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0:f File and args: SILO 1.4.8 Fast Data Access MMU miss ok reset-all [give up on that disk] On RC2, I get this ok boot cdrom Boot device: /sbus/[EMAIL PROTECTED],8400000/[EMAIL PROTECTED],8800000/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0:f File and args: Bad magic number in disk label Can't open disk label package Can't open boot device ok ok boot cdrom [ resets, run memory check ] Boot device: /sbus/[EMAIL PROTECTED],8400000/[EMAIL PROTECTED],8800000/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0:f File and args: Bad magic number in disk label Can't open disk label package Can't open boot device ok This box is installed with solaris 2.6, so it has a normal sun disklabel. It's never been installed with anything else, not even a different solaris version. More info about the hardware.
