kind of drive this is
When I am connected to the box via the tip hardwire, I execute cdrw -l and it shows
/dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s2 at Node
LITE-ON DVDRW SHW-160P65 PSOB at Connected Device
CD Reader/Writer = Device Type
This LITE-ON box is connected via a cable that looks like a keyboard/mouse connector and connected to the back of the box in a thin slot connector, don't know what you call this.
I am not sure why you would say you have to find a device to boot from. Being this is an external device, I thought there may be a specific way to boot from external devices.
Thanks for your help.

Is there a way to install Solaris 10 x86 with an external DVD drive that connects through the USB port? I would think I would run GRUB off of a floppy disk and somehow use that to make it look to the USB port to boot from but I don't know how to do that. Can anyone help me out? (1 Reply)

Booting these machines with an external drive plugged in via USB does no good.

GENLIB_COPY_UP_CON.3(October 1, 1997) GENLIB_COPY_UP_CON.3(October 1, 1997)
NAME
GENLIB_COPY_UP_CON - copy a physical connector from an instance in the current figure
SYNOPSYS
#include <genlib.h>
void GENLIB_COPY_UP_CON(index, conname, insname, newname)
long index;
char *insname;
char *conname;
char *newname;
ORIGIN
This software belongs to the ALLIANCE CAD SYSTEM developed by the ASIM team at LIP6 laboratory of Universite Pierre et Marie CURIE, in
Paris, France.
Web : http://asim.lip6.fr/recherche/alliance/
E-mail : alliance-users@asim.lip6.fr
PARAMETERS
index Connector index in the instance
conname Name of the connector in the instance model
insname Name of the instance the connector belongs to
newname Name to be given to the connector in the current figure
DESCRIPTION
COPY_UP_CON copies a instance connector into the current layout figure, and gives to the new connector the name newname. The instance con-
nector is identified by its name, conname, and index, index.
Two behaviour are expected, depending on the instance connector location regarding the abutment box of the current figure.
Connector on the abutment box
The figure connector is place right over the instance connector. The single connector is duplicated.
Connector inside the abutment box
The instance connector face is computed in the figure, and then, the connector is duplicated on the given face, at the
right coordinates for this face. Then a wire is drawn between the instance connector and the figure connector in the
connector layer.
If newname is NULL, then not connector is copied up, on the segment is drawn to the side of the abutment box.
ERRORS
"GENLIB_COPY_UP_CON impossible : missing GENLIB_DEF_PHFIG"
No figure has been yet specified by a call to DEF_PHFIG. So it isn't possible to place a connector inside it. you must call
DEF_PHFIG before any other layout action.
"*** genlib error *** GENLIB_COPY_UP_CON impossible : connector conname index index of instance insname, current figure doesn't exist"
The given connector does not exist in the current figure.
EXAMPLE
#include <genlib.h>
main()
{
/* Create a figure to work on */
GENLIB_DEF_PHFIG("cell");
.
.
GENLIB_PLACE_LEFT("gaer0_f", "insN", SYMXY);
.
.
GENLIB_DEF_AB(0L, 0L, 0L, 0L);
/* Put a connector */
GENLIB_COPY_UP_CON("i0", 1, "insN", "inz0");
/* Save that on disk */
GENLIB_SAVE_PHFIG();
}
