Eric,

Is your diag-switch? eeprom value set to true by chance?  That is
one known thing that would prevent the boot device from being
detected on Sparc.

Besides that, the next thing to do would be to turn on debug to
see if we get any additional data in install log from target discovery.
Use the 'install_debug' boot argument to turn that on.

ok> boot net:dhcp - install install_debug

I have a T3-1 which fails to identify the root disk for AI install on snv_151

Does anyone have a work-around for this?

format sees and can seek the drive, so the driver appears ok
