Thanks DoN. Excellent help. Yes, I'm already pretty familiar with
the jumpers on the SCSI card and I think I had them set properly. My
own research has led me to the conclusion that I also need to upgrade
the OBP from 3.19 to 3.31. I got the file
flash-update-Ultra510-latest from SunSolve, but I'm in kind of a catch
22 in that it appears you need to install it from hard disk:

ok boot disk /flash-update-Ultra510-latest

having previously put the file at the root with chmod 755. I tried
burning a CD on my PC with only the flash file on it and booting from
that:

ok boot cdrom /flash-update-Ultra510-latest

but it choked because no proper file system on the CD. Is there any
way to upgrade the OBP from cdrom?

Thanks,
Greg
