Howdy,
I am trying to jumpstart an X2200, and am bumping into a weird problem. When I
jumsptart the X2200 with one SATA drive, the install completes, and the server
reboots as normal. When I add a second SATA disk drive to the machine, the
installer drops me to a prompt once the finish script runs, and displays the
following warning message just prior to doing so:
WARNING: CHANGE DEFAULT BOOT DEVICE
If you want the system to always reboot Solaris from
the boot device that you've specified (c1d0)
without using the Configuration Assistant/Boot diskette,
you must change the system's BIOS default boot device
after installing Solaris software.
Since I bumped into a similar issue a while back, I thought I would check to
see if biosdev was able to properly detect the disk drives:
#
# biosdev -d on the 2200 w/ one drive
#
$ /sbin/biosdev -d
adding /pci at 0,0/pci-ide at 5/ide at 0/cmdk at 0,0
matching biosdev-0x80
match_edd bdf 0 5 0
interface type ATA pci channel 0 target 0
matched thru edd
0x80 /pci at 0,0/pci-ide at 5/ide at 0/cmdk at 0,0
0x80 /pci at 0,0/pci-ide at 5/ide at 0/cmdk at 0,0
#
# biosdev -d on the 2200 w/ two drives
#
$ /sbin/biosdev -d

0x80 /pci at 0,0/pci-ide at 5/ide at 0/cmdk at 0,0 matchcount 2
0x81 /pci at 0,0/pci-ide at 5/ide at 0/cmdk at 0,0 matchcount 2
biosdev: Could not match any!!
For some reason the host isn't able to "match any" when two drives are
installed, but can match the necessary devices when a single drive is
installed. Has anyone seen this issue before? Do folks think this issue is
related to biosdev, or is there something else going on here?
Thanks for any insight,
- Ryan
