I am just now starting to manage a Sun 3/160 and am having some problems. We just got a SCSI disk (equivalent to a a SUN0669) and we want to change the boot device from xy0 (Fujitsu-M2333) to sd0. I did the following: 1) dump 0f - /dev/xy0a | (mount /dev/sd0a /mnt; cd /mnt; restore -r -) 2) cd /usr/mdec; installboot -vlt /boot bootsd /dev/sd0a 3) sync; sync; shutdown -h now 4) b sd() -s The response from the boot command is a SCSI device timeout. I can boot from xy() with the -a flag and place the root partition on sd0a with no problems. Is it possible to have the SCSI disk as the boot device? If so, what am I doing wrong?
