sparcstation 5

  • if it keeps trying to boot from network, try pressing STOP and A at the same time, and to fix that, at the "ok" prompt type "setenv boot-device disk" and "setenv diag-device disk" and "setenv tpe-link-test? false" and then "nvstore"
  • at "ok" prompt, type

boot disk
root
sudo*room

  • once its booted up, open a terminal and type

./netup

  • /netup is just this:

ifconfig le0 plumb
ifconfig le0 100.64.64.37/22
ifconfig le0 up
route add default 100.64.64.1

  • we the following is in /etc/resolv.conf

domain jackpumpkin
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

  • and did this

cp /etc/nsswitch.dns /etc/nsswitch.conf

maybe this will help make these settings automatic?

see this email thread

echo jackpumpkin > /etc/hostname.leo

had to do this because the eeprom battery was dead

  • then after that, it didn't come up to the "ok" prompt anymore so I had to

press STOP and A keys at the same time to interrupt boot
