I eventually solved the problem - devalias gave me the info that the last
line was the mouse, so I plugged a standard keyboard & mouse in and hey
presto, successful boot.

What I don't understand is why a system that had been happily booting with
just a serial console and no keyboard for a year or so, would suddenly stop.

Now I can't use the serial console, which is a pain as I don't have a
monitor connected.

The only change was that I took the lid off and added some ram. Taking it
out again didn't solve the problem - possibly I disturbed something whilst
installing it???

Any thoughts anyone?

Subject: [Solaris-Users] Ultra 5 hangs at su1 on boot

I am having a lot of problems diagnosing an Ultra 5 that won't boot. It
seems to hang at internal loopback test, if I do a test-all. The output from
boot -v follows below. It hangs at the second su1 line. A break will usually
get me back to the ok prompt (I'm using a serial console). If it is hung at
loopback, break won't work. Also it hangs on probe-pci (but output from
probe-ide is fine).
