Hello Frank, https://eskimo.com/~jibanes/sparc/idprom2.jpg
I did change the mac address, as you can see in the screenshot linked above, but it lead to the same outcome. Could you think of anything else I should try? I could change the byte at fff4dfd9 to 80, but I'm afraid it would lead to the same result. I can't think the network adapter is defective because I can use it on other operating systems, and when configured manually (prior to the installer's network configuration) it works fine, if/when I let the installer deal with this, even manually assigning an ip address, I do not have network connectivity at all.

Maybe it was "80" for Blade 100s that use the 08:00:20 block and "83" > for Blade 100s that use the 00:03:ba block, which would make "80" actually > wrong for my machine and used MAC address block. > > [1]: > https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19127-01/blade150.ws/816-4379-10/816-4379-10.pdf > > [2]: > https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19127-01/blade100.ws/806-3416-10/806-3416-10.pdf > > [3]: > https://web.archive.org/web/20030116022314/http://sunsolve.sun.com:80/handbook_pub/Devices/IDPROM/IDPROM_Parts.html?wrapper=false > > But as my machine doesn't show any issues with IP address auto-configuration > from the installer despite the assumed wrong "(real) machine type" in the > hostid, it might be unrelated to your problem. > > Cheers, > Frank
