by This is a good one. I've just installed Solaris 2.5 on a SPARCStation 2,
with 64MB RAM, and only one disk - an external 2.1GB Sun UniPack,
connected to the SS2's normal SCSI connector via the cable supplied
with the UniPack. Installation was fine, but when attempting to boot,
I get:
boot: cannot find misc/krtld
I've repeated the installation (Developer's package, with some additions
but nothing removed) several times, with the same result. The disk
produces the same effect on other SS2's, which have had the same
installation done onto their own (non-UniPack) external disks without
problem.
Naturally, I've mounted the disk after booting from CD-ROM;
/kernel/misc/krtld is there, and looks just like the one on the other
SS2s. The SS2 in question has a *newer* PROM rev. than the others,
but since they fail to boot from this disk anyway, I'm assuming it's
either the UniPack or the cable that's making the difference. However,
if anyone's got any other suggestions, I'd be grateful.
