Boot error
Hey all,
When loading a Sun Ultra 60 I got running Solaris 9 I get a error. This error will only happen when I have a external CD-RW drive attached.
The error is;
Failed to power up sd21, see your administrator or reboot
I have rebooted and well I am the administrator for this machine. If I take the external drive off the machine everything works just fine. I've tested this with 2 different external burners that I have and get the same error.
I think it's trying to tell me it can't power up the SCSI device (SD), but if that's teh case how can I go about trying to fix it?
Also later in boot it'll say the same error but add 'genunix' infront of the error. Just before it loads into the login console, it'll also repeat the message like a few hundred times
Does anyone have any idea's how I can fix this
--------------------------
Thanks for the help all. I got the problem fixed. Issue was something with Solaris 9 I down graded to Solaris 8 and everything seems to be working fine now.
When I got some time I'll see why it didn't work with Solaris 9.

installboot(1M) installboot(1M) NAME
installboot - install bootblocks in a disk partition SYNOPSIS
installboot bootblk raw-disk-device The boot(1M) program, ufsboot, is loaded from disk by the bootblock program which resides in the boot area of a disk partition. The ufs boot objects are platform-dependent, and reside in the /usr/platform/platform-name/lib/fs/ufs directory. The platform name can be found using the -i option of uname(1). The installboot utility is a SPARC only program. It is not supported on the architecture. users should use installgrub(1M) instead. bootblk The name of the bootblock code. raw-disk-device The name of the disk device onto which the bootblock code is to be installed; it must be a character device which is read- able and writable. Naming conventions for a SCSI or IPI drive are c?t?d?s? and c?d?s? for an IDE drive. Example 1: Installing UFS Boot Block To install a ufs boot block on slice 0 of target 0 on controller 1 of the platform where the command is being run, use: example# installboot /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0 /usr/platform/platform-name/lib/fs/ufs directory where ufs boot objects reside. /platform/platform-name/ufsboot second level program to boot from a disk or CD See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Availability |SUNWcsu | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ od(1), uname(1), boot(1M), init(1M), kadb(1M), kernel(1M), monitor(1M), reboot(1M), rpc.bootparamd(1M), init.d(4), attributes(5) WARNINGS
The installboot utility fails if the bootblk or openfirmware files do not exist or if the raw disk device is not a character device. 11 Apr 2005 installboot(1M)
