ultra 5 scsi install
jo...@hedge.com.au
some etiquet.
i've spent the past 4 days googling and it's not answered my problem which
is:
i've removed the ide drive and installed a scsi board and drive which i
can install debian on but cannot reboot to. i gather this is to do with
bootprom not understanding the neccessary address.
i've done a 'probe-scsi-all' and come up with the following:
ok probe-scsi-all

ok probe-scsi-all
/pci@1f,0/pci@1/scsi@2,1
/pci@1f,0/pci@1/scsi@2
Target 6
Unit0 Disk IBM DDYS-T09170N S96H
ok
i've tried setting the devalias to various addresses but none worked!
the disk's first partition is 100M with an id 1 (boot). this worked well
on the ide drive.
if there's any further info i can provide to assist the assistant plse let
me know.

When you partitioned this driver, did you do it as a Sun partition map,
and did you leave the 3rd "Whole Disk" partition? Also, the exact
message you get when you try to boot from this drive might help, not to
mention the type of scsi card you installed.

Try try again. Robert the bruce had something!
The correct address (or the one that works) is /pci@1f,0/pci@1/scsi@2/disk@6,0 (no f!!!)
Thank you to asim saglam and ben Collins for their support and guidance.
