You would normally have the DVD drive on one IDE cable, and the HD's on a
second cable. Otherwise the HD's will slow down to the bus speed of the DVD.
The cable pinouts are different for the connectors which are close together.
They need to plug into a drive.

I am still hoping to get my Sun 2000 (vintage 2002) running with Debian. The
problem was the Qlogic fibrechannel disk driver, so perhaps I can add in a
different disk controller temporarily. What economical solution would you
recommend? Perhaps a USB disk?
By the way, OpenBSD installs fi

surplus disk just to get it installed temporarily, then debug the driver
problem. Maybe it is an endian problem, I understand drivers on older
Unix systems but not on Debian.

Hi Tom
Does it have the FibreChannel disk controller? That is what my sunblade 2000
has ( manufactured in 2002).
My experience with that ( two years ago) is that the driver has a bug
preventing installation. I discussed this a few years ago.
At the time, I was able to install OpenBsd, but that
rom a running Linux.
I should try again, but currently I have power supply problems.
Cheers

One option you probably considered: use a small disk with the standard ext3 or
4 filesystem just for the OS, and ZFS for all your other disks.
I hope this suggestion is useful, otherwise please just ignore.

There was a problem with the driver the last time I tried to install. That was

Yes, and most homes have that plug behind the stove in the kitchen and for the

The reason that I think PPC is related is that, if it is also BE then PPC users
