[GLLUG] Is there anyone that could help me restore an oldSparcstation?

[Neil Fryer]

Hi John,

Are you sure that you downloaded the SPARC cd's and not the x86 one's?
AFAIK you can't download the SPARC cd's, but I may be wrong here, but it's worth checking, see if you can boot with those cd's on a normal Intel box?
Also, once the Sparcstation starts booting and you get the POST screen, hit Break, and then type "boot cdrom" , that may help you as well.

Neil

I recently acquired an old Sparcstation 10 and would like to install Solaris
9. I downloaded the ISO files and burned the cd's but the machine previously
had (has) openbsd and refuses to boot the Solaris disk to install that. I am
a total uni* newbie, but really would like to see this thing working and
installed to my LAN.

Could the Installfest and Beginner's Night on the 23rd make this happen?
