i bought an old but unused Ultrasparc 5 recently. First i installed
Debian on it, but i also wanted to try out Solaris. So i burned the DVD
and put it in. After a very long while, the installer showed up. I set
up me networking info and then it came: "No disks found!" I tried to
run format, but it's giving me segfault every time. Also tried it in
single-user mode, same results. The hard drive is Seagate Barracuda 20
GB, plain IDE. Thanks for any suggestions.

What is shown by »probe-ide« at the ok prompt?

Andreas.

This is it:

Device 0 (Primary Master)
ATA Mode: ST320011A
Device 1 (Primary Slave)
Not Present
Device 2 (Secondary Master)
Removable ATAPI Model: ASUS DRW-1608P2S
Device 3 (Secondary Slave)
Not Present

I think it's fairly self-explanatory and it corresponds with the actual
hardware configuration. I dunno how this is gonna help, though.
