If your system does not boot, check that:
Your boot-device environmental variable is correctly set to your boot device.
The FCode revision level is at 1.33 or higher if you are attempting to boot through an FC/S SBus Card. To check the FCode revision level, refer to "Checking the FCode Level of Your FC/S SBus Card".
Determine your FCode level. Type the following at the ok prompt:
ok setenv fcode-debug? true ok reset ok show-devs
When you type the show-devs command, you should see output similar to this:
. . . /iommu@0,10000000/sbus@0,10001000/le@1,c00000 /iommu@0,10000000/sbus@0,10001000/SUNW,soc@0,0 /iommu@0,10000000/sbus@0,10001000/ledma@4,8400010 /iommu@0,10000000/sbus@0,10001000/SUNW,bpp@4,c800000 /iommu@0,10000000/sbus@0,10001000/espdma@4,8400000 /iommu@0,10000000/sbus@0,10001000/SUNW,DBRIe@2,10000/mmcodec /iommu@0,10000000/sbus@0,10001000/SUNW,soc@0,0/SUNW,pln@a0000800,201cac11 /iommu@0,10000000/sbus@0,10001000/SUNW,soc@0,0/SUNW,pln@a0000800,201cac11/SUNW,ssd
Look at the output from the show-devs command and find the lines for the FC/S card(s) that is attached to the SPARCstorage Array that you want to boot from.
The output for an FC/S card will be the lines containing soc@x,x similar to:
/iommu@0,10000000/sbus@0,10001000/SUNW, soc@0,0 /iommu@0,10000000/sbus@0,10001000/SUNW,soc@0,0/SUNW,pln@a0000800,201cac11 /iommu@0,10000000/sbus@0,10001000/SUNW,soc@0,0/SUNW,pln@a0000800,201cac11 SUNW,ssd
To determine which version of FCode is in the FC/S card, type:
ok cd short_path ok sccsid type 1.33 95/04/19 ok device-end
where short_path is the shortest line containing soc@x,x from the output. Using the previous output as an example, you would enter:
ok cd /iommu@0,10000000/sbus@0,10001000/SUNW,soc@0,0 ok sccsid type 1.33 95/04/19 ok device-end
If the FCode version is not at 1.33 or higher you must upgrade to the minimum FCode level.
You can upgrade your FCode after installing the Solaris 7 software.
The following part numbers refer to the FC/S SBus Cards that contain the minimum FCode revision level to allow booting:
501-2069-07 or higher
501-2553-03 or higher
