damn gooses! what on earth could be causing / to -ro? could it be in the openboot? this problem is obviously well out of my league, but it must be in the openboot as far as i can figure. it can't be scsi drives...too many with the same problem and yet work fine elsewhere (not as /). it can't be the disty. it must therefore be in my physical hardware set up (i boogered it) or in the way the machine thinks/expects the hardware to be (i boogered it). can't replace me, i am out of warranty, so i guess it's off to learn more about openboot and plugging hardware into a sparc.
