Solaris Handbook for Sun Frame Buffers

Multiple Monitor Configuration

When the system is booted, it looks for the sbus-probe-list, which determines the order in which the SBus devices are addressed. For the SPARCstation 10, SBus address f is reserved for the CPU and should always be the first address in the sbus-probe-list.

The addressing numbers are 0, 1, 2, and 3. However, 0 is reserved for the CPU and should always be the first address in the sbus-probe-list for all SPARCstation systems except the SPARCstation 10 system.

  1. To determine the system information and sbus-probe-list, type:


    % eeprom
         .
         .
         .
    sbus-probe-list=0123
         .
         .

The following system information and sbus-probe-list (starting with f) will be displayed if you have a SPARCstation 10 system:


% eeprom
     .
     .
     .
sbus-probe-list=f0123
