When I try to boot the CD at the boot prompt, I get: root on sd0a fstype 4.2 not executable boot failed I called Sun tech support and they originally told me that this was because I was using a Toshiba CD-ROM drive. I borrowed a Sun 2X CD-ROM drive and got the same result. My suspicion is that my ROMs are too old (running ROM rev. 1.6) Anyone have a definitive answer on what causes this? - ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 24 Feb 1999 12:08:08 -0500 From: jasons Subject: HELP To: Suns-at-Home@tigger.net-kitchen.com I have a sparcstation 1 at home, I have installed my cdrom drive and my hard drive.
