Booting From a CD on SPARC
Trying to boot from a CD, I was getting this error:
Can't open boot device
Followed this procedure:
1. Rebooted with Stop+a and got "ok" prompt
2. show-disks command and picked option a) for cdrom
3. nvalias cdrom ^Y (hit Ctrl+y) and appended 3,0:f at the end, which identifies the cdrom as a slave device on the secondary IDE port.
4. reset-all <- at this point the machine reboots.
5. Stop+a and use "boot cdrom" to boot SPARC installer.
