    Hello Tru Gurus,

    The company that I work for recently purchased a used
    ES47 Server and I need to install the O.S/V5.1B
    w/Firmware v6.6.x..

    FYI:
    My issue is that besides not having ES47 Manuals I'm
    getting stock when I boot to the OS CD(i.e boot dqa0)
    which is the CDROM Device on the console level. I
    tried 2 different O.S CD's and both of the hang right
    at the same spot... This is the last lines just before
    the O.S installation hangs:

    ------------------------------------------------------
    initiating machine state
    setting affinity to primary CPU
    jumping to boot strap code
    -----------------------------------------

    The above 3 lines are the last lines I get and that
    it..

    Is there something I need to do to the server/firmware
    setting or anything special in order to install the
    basic O.S/v5.1B?

    Any advise, suggestions, ideas?

    Thanks in advance.
