Hello again :) A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far way, someone said...

I > have tried ">boot floppy", ">setenv boot-disk=floppy" and "go". You were at the ">" prompt, which is the old-style boot rom for compatibility with the Sun 3 and older. When you're hit with that prompt, you need to hit "n" and enter to get to the "ok" prompt, which is what you're looking for. At the "ok" prompt, "boot floppy" will work the way you expect. > I have surfed the web too, trying to find a document on prom monitor. > But I haven't found anything related to the boot media. If you type "help" at the "ok" prompt you get some online help. > How does the prom monitor see the floppy device? Is it as "floppy", > "/dev/fd0"? Or anything else? The boot ROM knows "floppy" as well as /fd. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] "There are two things that are infinite; Human stupidity and the universe.
