I'm sure this will be in the Sun documentation at some point in time but at the moment it's not clear from the doc that booting a PSR-A machine (490 etc) fails from the CD-ROM. Methinks the boot doesn't get installed correctly. I've heard a rumor that after mini-unix is installed you should use the regular boot with the appropriate switches. I just dd'd it onto a spare partition. I will say the CD-ROM is a big win, like I'll buy more before I'd ever go back to tape. Seems a shame the first one out has a bug this big.
