[Suns-at-Home] Re: laptop SCSI disk

[Hessel Keegstra]

Hi,

It is great that Solaris is able to deal with some PCMCIA devices but
the bigger question is whether a Voyager can boot from a PCMCIA device.
It cannot. Well at least with OBP 2.16 as on my color Voyager it does
not work. You can always boot from an external SCSI device of course. 

Just my two cents.

Regards,
   Hessel

...if you're using Solaris.  While I'm not, NetBSD does seem to grok
PCMCIA disk on my laptop, so it ought to be feasible.

I haven't managed to get support for the Voyager PCMCIA slots
backported yet, so I can't use them now.  I'll certainly keep this in
mind for if-&-when I do.

It's an idea I hadn't thought of; thank you very much for mentioning it.
