At that point, you should be able to get to the monitor prompt by pressing L1-A (hold L1, press A) while it's trying to boot boot from disk, or "b st(0,0,0)" to get it to boot from tape. Oh yeah, you need to press return after that ")", unless you want to pass some arguments to the boot, in which case you should type them before you press return (e.g. "b sd(0,0,0) -s" to boot single-user mode).<< I don't have a Sun keyboard or mouse, so what are the terminal-equivalent keys for L1? I've tried the "b sd(0,0,0)" command from the montior in DIAG mode, but it complains that the device is not present. I don't have a SCSI terminator on the end of the chain, so that may be an issue (the shoebox did not come with one; I ordered one :-)). have something bootable on the disk, you want to set the default boot device to "sd(0,0,0)". This setting goes in the EEPROM, only I don't remember exactly what locations to use. If you install SunOS 4.1.1 there will be an "eeprom" command that will help you to not remember too.<< I figured this one out. I've set the EEPROM for polling. I don't even know what system is on the hard drive, though. Rich Cini/WUGNET &lt;nospam_rcini(a)msn.com&gt; (remove nospam_ to use) ClubWin!
