I have an SS1+ with two internal Quantum 105's; I also have on order a Fujitsu 2263SA. When I install the new disk I would like to make it the system disk. As I read the manuals, the "system disk" is by default sd0, so there are (at least) two ways to shuffle things around. 1)The Hardware Route - get into the pizza box and change the jumper on the current 0th disk from scsi target 3 to target 2, and set new disk target to 3. 2) Software Route - change the target declarations in the kernel and eeprom from the 31204567 order to 21304567, and set new disk target to 2. Since I'm a novice at SunOS, I won't be surprised to hear that there's an easier way to handle this. I will be grateful for any help.

Easy. Try the following from "new" monitor mode (the "ok" prompt): setenv boot-from sd(,3) This will have the system boot from the external disk drive. You should set that one to target 0 if I remember correctly. We have lots of this kind of configuration need here, and it works for us. Karl Denninger karl@kbox.naitc.com (708) 317-3285
