- Have anyone be able to boot from a Seagate ST41200N 1G disk on a SUN ELC?
- I got the following message from the monitor:
-
- >b
- Boot device:/sbus/esp@0,800000/sd@3,0 File and args: vmunix
- Can't read disk labe.
- Can't open Sun disk label package
- boot-block startup failed.
- Illegal Instruction.
-
- Disk type in format.dat is as followed:
-
- disk-type= "Seagate Wren 7 ST41200N" \
- : ctlr = MD21 : fmt_time = 4 \
- : cache = 0x11 : trks_zone = 15 : asect = 5 : atrks = 30 \
- : ncyl = 1928 : acyl = 2 : pcyl = 1930 : nhead = 15 : nsect = 70 \
- : rpm = 3600 : bpt = 41301
-
-
- I have no problem mounting the disk and using it, just can't boot from it.
- I have run installboot on the new disk. I have also tried installing from
- SUNOS CD-ROM and all completed successful but the boot still failed.
-
- Any idea?
