@simplextibi.....where are you getting your media from? Any Solaris media must be the Sparc version. Any OpenBSD must be the Sparc version. Must also be 64-bit version. I believe it also needs to be CD 4.0 minimum. The information you have provided so far is very woolly. Can you please post the boot sequence from totally powered off (no mains connection) status. Then, what 'boot' command are you issuing and to what prompt?

@other subscribers to this thread......it's been a while since I used a V880 but, if we're not logging into the SC at all, how do we know that power to the main box is even on?
