- Dear Unix gurus:
-
- Lately I installed a second hard disk on one of my Unix workstations
- (which is a Sun Sparc 1+ or Sun 4/65) and installed a newer version of Sun
- operating system on this second hard disk which has more disk space.
- The problem is that whenever I do a cold boot, the system still tries to
- boot from the old hard disk which is at sd(0,3,0). Since I have already
- reformatted this old disk drive, the system complains that it cannot find
- vmunix on sd(0,3,0). Do any of you know how I can change the default bootup
- disk to sd(0,0,0) in order to avoid having to manually type in "b sd(0,0,0)"
- every time the system tries to boot?
-

- Thanks for any tip.
