Does anyone know if there are known problems getting a Sparc2 to boot from a Wren7? I went through the entire install process, which ran successfully (including booting the miniroot from the Wren7), but once it was done, and tried to boot the finished system, i get: Can't read disk label. Can't open Sun disk label package boot-block startup failed Illegal instruction I have tried it on a number of Sparcs and the result is the same. But... you can make filesystems on the disk, write to them, mount them, etc... no problem... that works fine... it just won't boot... anyone have any words of wisdom? do wren7's not work on Suns? The wren7 works fine on all our other machines (DECstations, VAXstations, IBM RS/6000's, etc...) so I am pretty sure the disk works... thanks ... art stine sr network engineer clarkson u abstine@hobbes.erc.clarkson.edu etwork engineer clarkson u abstine@hobbes.erc.clarkson.edu
