Re: Boot Ultra 80 from Atto express 4LUD card

Hi,
is it possible to boot a sun ultra 80 from a scsi disk (ID2) connected to
an ATTO ExpressPCI 4ULS scsi controller?

Don't know. The controller would have to have openfirmware boot support
for it to work.

What would the boot-device path
bee?

At the OBP ok prompt, run 'probe-scsi-all'. Do you see the device
listed as one of the controllers? If you don't see it, you can't boot
from it.

Try 'show-devs'. That will show sample device listings for the various
controllers. You can use that for the boot string.

Running probe-scsi-all does not show the two scsi disks (Fuji 10k 73gb
disks). But I was able to install the OS onto these disks so it's
weird.

That's normal if the controller does not have openfirmware support, but
does have a solaris driver. The Solaris driver is used after the
machine boots.
