A follow up (already)....
removed drive, drive spun up in an external scsi case...
while I haven't DVM'd the drive power... I'm predicting a problem with
probably
the 12V feed to the drive.
I connected up the external drive box (using it just as a power supply) and
booted OKIX !
I think the bearings on the drive are not that great... (takes a bit to
spin up).
Appears to be a 400M drive... I'll probably try cloning it onto a Sun
424M or 512M
drive (or even a 1G drive). I'll also make a dd image of the entire
disk and burn it
to a CD.
But, still hoping someone has docs, media, etc for this.
I have the OKIstation, the OKI monitor (same as a sun 16" Sun "breadbox"
monitor
(Sony P2)). Came with a serial logitech mouse and a generic AT keyboard
(guess it
used to have an OKI keyboard... but that was accidentally tossed at some
point in
the unit's lifetime).
(thankfully the root password was "root" :-) )... otherwise I'd be
mounting the UFS
filesystems off of some other box (Linux ?) to modify the
password/shadow file.

Well... I'm now in possession of one of these...
sadly... it doesn't boot... the hd doesn't seem to spin up....
I know nothing about these....
Anyone have any info on them ? Have boot media ?
procedure on checking if drive is recognized in bios...
(so far bios seems to have one letter commands, r for register dump, m
for
manipulating memory, b for boot, etc... no help command, no ? command)
I was really hoping this thing would boot... if so, I was then going
to pull the
SCSI drive and image it....
This is an i860 based system. I've found few references on the net to
a SVR4
variant called OKIX ?
