- I'm having problems in booting up a Sun 3/110 from a hard disk running SunOS 4.1
- Here are the messages from the console:
-
- Testing 8 Mbytes of Memory ...
-
- Auto boot in progress
- EEPROM boot device ... sd(0,0,0)
- sd: error 70 0 2 0 0 0 0 A 0 0 0 0 5 0 8 0
- sd: error 70 0 2 0 0 0 0 A 0 0 0 0 5 0 8 0
- sd: error 70 0 2 0 0 0 0 A 0 0 0 0 5 0 8 0

- I have tried to boot it from another disk that was a copy of a 3/60 machine. It
- failed with the same messages. I'm quite sure there are no problems with the
- disks themselves because they can be mounted normally as non-bootable disk. Now
- I suspect that this may be caused by bad installboot files (am I right?). Here
- are the checksums (produced by running 'sum') for the /usr/mdec files:
-
- 22772 7 bootsd
- 56477 9 bootxd
- 33618 9 bootxy
- 43374 24 installboot
- 22772 7 rawboot
-
- The long listing:
-
- -rwxr-xr-x 2 root staff 6184 Mar 7 1990 bootsd*
- -rwxr-xr-x 1 root staff 9201 Mar 7 1990 bootxd*
- -rwxr-xr-x 1 root staff 9105 Mar 7 1990 bootxy*
- -rwxr-xr-x 1 root staff 24576 Mar 7 1990 installboot*
- -rwxr-xr-x 2 root staff 6184 Mar 7 1990 rawboot*
-
- I would appreciate it very much if anybody could help me with this problem,
- apart from replacing it with Sparcs (we already have a few of them).
-
- Bunch of thanks in advance
