The failure I was experiencing was occuring because I had memory
in slots 3 and 4, and no memory in slots 1 and 2.
Moving the DIMMs into slots 1 and 2 avoids the
Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 00:00
Press L1-A to return to the boot prom
error message.
I thought this problem had been solved, so I did not think of it
until just now. Can this regression (if it is a regression) be fixed?
HINT:
Get, and run, the 'memconf' utility on your machine while it
still has Solaris. This is a quick and accurate way to confirm
the memory layout. It is currently hosted at
http://myweb.cableone.net/4schmidts/memconf.html
I will check the manual and send a patch if the above is not already
in there.
I moved successfully through the installation to the partitioning
stage. I bailed out at that point, but I'll complete an install later.
