No; non-parity ram won't boot sunos at all, while linux works with it. I have however seen that watchdog error when you run without parity RAM (the PROM also bitches when it starts up, and it won't auto-boot). You might try: false to watchdog-reboot? at the PROM. -- Elie Rosenblum That is not dead which can eternal lie, http://www.cosanostra.net And with strange aeons even death may die.
