My original email is below. Thanks to all that responded (there were many). The emails pointed out that if the 'diag-switch?' is set to true, the Netra T1 will boot from whatever 'diag-device' is set to (not what boot-device is set to). The emails said I had two options: 1. Set 'diag-switch?' to 'false' which would cause the T1 to boot from whatever is specified in 'boot-device'. 2. Set 'diag-device' to 'disk'. This is the route I took and it worked. -- Greg Mani SPAWAR Systems Center, Code D4223 Office: 619-553-4050 Lab 250B: 619-553-3938, ext 20 Lab 260: 619-553-5450 mani@spawar.navy.mil Greg Mani wrote: > I have a Netra T1 with solaris 8 installed on it.
