    Hi all,
    I'm having problem at boot Solaris 9.
    Problem:
     I have a Solaris 8 on Sun Ultra 10 (512 mb RAM) machine with IDE disks
    (Seagate).
     I disable this disk, boot from cdrom and install Solaris 9 (64-&32-bit) on
    another disk.
     Power off.
     Disable disk with Solaris 9 and boot from Soalris 8 disk.
    Because Solaris 8 - working OS with working DB (Oracle) and must works
    everytime during week.
    After few days (on weekend) i disable disk with Solaris 8 and try to boot
    from disk with Solaris 9.
    But Solaris 9 not boot.
    Open boot prom: "Boot from /pci../ide......... File and args: "
     And stop, not boot continued.
    Not messages about error and warnings!
    What is it?
    May be problem in bootprom parameters (NVRAM ...) ? OBP 3.11
    Please, help me.
    Sorry for my English. :-)
