I've done this before; I don't have it running anymore, but it worked really well. Don't know if this helps, but I thought I'd offer it to the archives for those interested. The meat of it is finding the right alias for openboot. I replaced my cdrom (that didn't exist in my netra t1/105 when I bought it) with the CF card/adapter: boot /p...@1f,0/p...@1/p...@1/i...@e/d...@2:a -c I also had to set a flag on the IDE controller, at this point thinking that it disables DMA? That one is left to the reader to find out. I just remember that it wouldn't boot reliably without this: UKC> change wd* change? y channel: [-1] (hit enter) flags: [whatever]: 0xff0 UKC> quit -- Jonathan Towne On Tue, Mar 30, 2010 at 03:23:57AM -0600, Duncan Patton a Campbell scribbled: # I've got a cf card running as a secondary drive on a Sparc Ultra 5 (Sparc64), # but have not been able to get it to boot. The cf/ide plug I am using has no # master/slave/cs sets and a microprocessor on it as well, which leaves me suspicious # of it because the CF interface is sposed to be a shrunken IDE. # # The sparc boot diags (probe-ide) show no device other than an ide hdd if it is attached. # # Also, I have experience that IDE disks are addressable after boot if the CS/MS/SL is # set wrong (that is they can have mountable file systems) but will still not be bootable # themselves, which further leads me to believe the CF card 2 IDE plug I have is useless # for this. # # But I mebbe barking up the wrong tree altogether here and it is just not doable... # # Comments/ideas anyone? # # Thanks, # # Dhu # # # p.s. # # # dmesg # console is keyboard/display # Copyright (c) 1982, 1986, 1989, 1991, 1993 # The Regents of the University of California.
