Hi,

You'll have to reconfigure the various boot parameters...

The disks in your machine can be seen in the output of the command:

>>> show dev d

Assuming that the boot disk is dka0, then you'll need to set the boot device:

>>> set bootdef_dev dka0

You may also need to set the os_type and the OS flags:

>>> set os_type unix
>>> set boot_flags A

Hope this helps,

Regards,

Rob

i tried this command show dev d, but nothing

and then i tried
>>> set bootdef_dev dka0
>>> set os_type unix
>>> set boot_flags A
>>> boot
but server goes to the restart

i tried all disks...

Hi,

Do you know what the boot disk is ?

If not, then it could be difficult to get things going.

If you don't see anything with show dev d, try "show device"

Cheers,

>>boot dkb0

Hi,

Can you post exactly what happens when the server tries to boot please...

It might also be useful to see the output of "show config"

Cheers,
Rob
