Are SCSI ID numbers likely to be an issue?
Which ones are most commonly used on SparcClassic?
I collect Sun lunchbox systems like the Classic.
When I get the SCSI bus is hung message, I add or remove the SCSI
terminator, depending on whether one is present and, in my experience,
the problem usually goes away.

No. Possible, certainly, but I would not say likely.

Disk at 0, 1, 2, 3; tape at 4, 5; CD at 6; the Classic itself at 7.
Those are what SunOS used, unless you reconfigured your kernel, and my

Never had a Classic but I've wrangled plenty of other Sun workstations ...
in general I have always found SCSI on Suns to be very easygoing ... you
generally won't get SCSI errors unless something has gone grossly awry... I

Hi all!
I recently acquired a SPARCclassic, which is my first bit of Sun hardware.

ok boot cdrom -s
Boot device: /iomm
