To: suns-at-home@net-kitchen.com Hi, I have a SPARC-Station 10, and due to space-constraints, have removed the monitor. As the keyboard and the mouse are just catching dust, I'd like to remove them, too. But the SPARC won't boot without these. How can I boot the SPARC without any peripherals ? thanks, Rainer -- ======================================== Rainer Duffner , Konstanz, Germany eMail: duffner@fh-konstanz.de rainer.duffner@surf24.de http://www-stud.fh-konstanz.de/duffner/ ======================================== - ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 3 Sep 2000 21:04:05 -0500 (CDT) From: Frank Hahn Subject: Fwd: Suns-at-Home Digest V13 #22 To: Suns-at-Home@net-kitchen.com Date: Fri, 25 Aug 2000 19:48:54 -0700 (PDT) From: David Wolfskill Subject: Printer & Scanner advice To: Suns-at-Home@net-kitchen.com >>Date: Sat, 19 Aug 2000 17:20:48 -0500 >>From: Garry Garrett >>makes better photos.

I recently purchased an IBM 45GB ATA100 hard drive, but the format program in solaris 8 seems only able to address 32,766 cylinders (~15.75GB). The disk has 89,355 cylinders total. Is there some sort of trick to getting format to add all of the cylinders (it tells me 32,766 is the max)? Or is there some way to use LBA? I'm on an Ultra 10 running Solaris 8 6/00. I've got the new drive configured as slave.
