I have a problem that I thought someone might have experienced before. I am trying to get the machine to boot from an install cd, but things aren't going as planned. I have a sun blade, with only USB keyboard/mouse input. It is currently running solaris 9, but it is flaky - meaning, when I try to open a shell console, CDE gets a black background, and no shell opens. The mouse and window manager remain responsive, but I can't get to a shell to init 0. Since there is no sun keyboard, stop-a isn't available. Ctrl-break should work, but it isn't working via the usb keyboard adapter. I tried the 'hit the power button after initial beep,' but that doesn't get me any closer to an openboot prompt. Any ideas? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: http://shadowknight.real-time.com/pipermail/tclug-list/attachments/20050823/7a64f98a/attachment.htm
