RE: [PLUG] Sun Ultra 10, Install Help


i think to boot off of the cdrom, enter "boot cdrom" at the prompt (which
you get into by hitting stop+a if I remember right).

Okay, I have tried that still does NOT work.

by the way in the prom i types in "devalias", and the cdrom section
looks
like this:

cdrom /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ide@3/cdrom@2,0:f

The cdrom lights up after I enter a CD in, so I don' think its a CD-ROM
problem.
