solaris 7 boot problem

[dirtyjoe]

I have two machines,
one is with an Ultra-2, one with a UltraSPARC-IIi-Engine processor.
When I try to boot a SCSI drive (that works) and was built on the machine with the Ultra-2 processor on the machine with the UltraSPARC-IIi-Engine processor, I can't get past single user.
I've tried booting from a (solaris 7)cdrom and:

ok boot cdrom -s

# cd /usr/platform/SUNW,UltraSPARC-IIi-Engine/lib/fs/ufs
# installboot bootblk /dev/rdsk/c0t3d0s0

then rebooting from the hard drive c0t3d0s0 <boot disk3> but still
can't get past single user.

any help would be appreciated

I hate to ask the obvious but have you tried boot -r?

 

[dirtyjoe]

Sometimes the obvious is the stuff most easily missed, but yes, I did.

Can the Sparc-IIi machine see the SCSI drive? From the ok prompt try probe-scsi-all. What does that report?

Greg.

 

[dirtyjoe]

yes, it can see the the drive when I do probe-scsi-all from the &quot;ok&quot; prompt.

when I boot -r or boot -rs or just boot, I am prompted to enter ctrl d or the root password (so I can do an fsck)

I have attempted to fsck using the following:

fsck -y

fsck -F ufs /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0

fsck /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0

the fsck fails.
I can boot to single user mode (init3), but not past it

Sorry, perhaps it's a typo in your last entry, but init 3 is multiuser mode. Are you sure no-one else can log in?

 

[dirtyjoe]

Ken,

Thanks for pointing that out, it was a typo.

 

[dirtyjoe]

All thanks for input and advice, I found my answer. Regrettably, it was negative.
