Can't open boot device

[md1750]

I just goot a couple of Seagate Barracuda hard disk and am getting a can't open boot device when I tried to boot from cdrom to install the OS.Any help is appreciated.

How are you attempting to boot from the cdrom? If not already doing so, try typing boot cdrom - install from the ok prompt. If the cdrom is attached and the OS cd is good, the system will boot and the installation program should start.

For the future......

If you have just installed the new disks to a solaris box, you can make sure that the system sees them by doing the following:

from the "ok" prompt:
setenv auto-boot?=false
reset
probe scsi all
at this point, the system should seach for and list all attached scsi devices, including your new disks

If you see your disks:

setenv auto-boot?=true
boot -r

Sorry for being repetitive if you have already tried all of this!!

If you *just* got these drives, make sure the boot drive is set to SCSI ID 3 and the CDROM is set at 6.

Several things, First what is the boot device path? you can find this by <b>OK> devalias</b>
second is there a disk or cdrom attached at that address? If all else fails boot <full path name @#,0> where 3 is the target, and 0 is the Lun.
