I received all of the new Sun Blade 1500 computers today and originally planned to install them
via Jumpstart. But after installing “boot net 2)” I get the following error on
clients:
Sneaker:
unable to open kernel/sparcv9/unix
Place filename: [kernel/sparcv9/unix]
Then I debugged it with snoop: http://www.**-**.com/~dkg/js.
After that txt I searched solaris_9/tools/boot/platform/. And for
SUNW, Sun-Blade-1500 there is nothing. machine This will not be added in Solaris9?

SPARC: How To Boot The Network System
Any system can leave the network If server shoes are available. You might want to develop a standalone systemtemporarily disconnect from the network when the system fails to boot from disk.To change or reset the entire default boot device, see sparc: how to change the default boot device.
There are startup strategies for step 2 of the network configuration that you can choose depending onsun4y
