Hi Folks, I've solved this trouble doing a COLD REBOOT.
It is very simple: Turn off your server, and disconnect the power supply cable. Wait about twice minutes and then turn on the server. Before do poweroff, I recommend change the default load to CDROM device in order to avoid boot from Harddisk device. >From the ok prompt: ok setenv boot-device cdrom and then, ok reset-all When the server has loaded, in the ok prompt: boot cdrom When you do not need anymore boot from cdrom, reboot the server and in the ok prompt: ok boot disk0:a ok reset-all Good luck..
