Hi guys. I'm helping a friend install 4.4 (Sparc64) on this SunFire V120 he got for free :) It's a very nice box with a working Solaris install. It boots the install.iso and proceeds to install, but when we get to the point of selecting a root disk... the only option we have is [done]. OpenBSD seems to detect both drives (sd0 and sd1) but not place them in the list to select from.
My friend heard that I got OpenBSD setup on an older, similar Netra T105 so he thought I was an OpenBSD magician and could fix his issue... I am not a magician, just persistent and love using OpenBSD and not afraid to ask the experts here. I do installs on these devices very seldom... that is part of the porblem. You guys need to make a less reliable OS so that I can more practice re-installing ;) Here is the dmesg we see (sorry for the spaces... had to cut and paste it from a Hyper Terminal Window)... any advice will be much appreciated: Box = Sunfire v120 console is /p...@1f,0/p...@1,1/i...@7/ser...@0,3f8 Copyright (c) 1982, 1986, 1989, 1991, 1993 The Regents of the University of California.
