I'm curious if it really reads "PciiDe0" rather than "pciide0" ? Was that just a typo, or was that exactly what was displayed? --I ask because the case shift makes it look corrupted (bad memory?). It's been a while since I've run sparc64, I don't own any Sun Blade systems, and I don't have a sparc64 machine handy at the moment. I just checked the "INSTALL.sparc64" file of the 4.7-current snapshot for dma, but there's nothing obvious. Yep, the "INSTALL.<arch>" file is always required reading. If you skipped reading the INSTALL.<arch> file, it could be the cause of your problems... such as the 'security-mode' of the OpenBOOT ROM, or wrong frimware patch level or whatever. At this point, I don't have a clue, so hopefully someone with the right hardware and more knowledge can help you. -- The OpenBSD Journal - http://www.undeadly.org No virus found in this incoming message.
