Welcome to IWETHEY!

Post #6,640 by kmself 8/24/01 3:32:26 PM Reply	Researched this last night ....post fell through (think it was Galeon, not zIWETHEY). 'sparc boot disk' on Google turns up anything but Solaris refs, and the only Sun doc I found was for something like making your own boot CDROM tool. Looks like, if you can't recover via STOP-A (and that was mentioned), the best bet is to try booting an alternative OS, NetBSD or Debian Linux would be my bets, and try to repair damage there and/or come up with a real Solaris boot disk. Note that there didn't seem to be much on the topic of creating bootable Solaris media, I don't know that it's possible. Free 'nix has Sun's ass kicked all over creation in this area. -- Karsten M.

I'm re-doing the Solaris 8 install and will see what happens once the install completes and I re-boot. Hope it works though as I need it for a project this weekend... Anyway, thanks for the help. I appreciate it! -Mags
