Neo, Thanks for your reply. I guess the main issue I have with what you posted is that I can't get to format the disk. Every time I try to format the hard drive, I get a
segmentation fault - core dumped error.
TonyFullerMalv, I did the
probe-ide-all and it recognizes the hard drive.
I think it is an Openboot firmware problem with the memory, because
obdiag itself does not work. I keep getting
ERROR: /packages/obdiag-menu: Last Trap: Memory Address not Aligned.
I want to try to flash the firmware even though it already has the latest version. But, I can't figure out how to do this without having Solaris already installed on the disk. Does anyone know if there is a way to do this from a CD, or maybe from another computer using a serial cable? I'm getting frustrated, but I don't want to give up.

Question,
when adding memory to a SunBlade 100, are you required to add it in matched pairs? My current box has 2 x 256mb sticks of PC-133 ram. I tried adding 1 512mb sticks and the system failed to come up. I saw at Sunsolve that you can mix and match different sized memory. (5 Replies)

mount_pcfs
mount_pcfs(1M) System Administration Commands mount_pcfs(1M)
NAME
mount_pcfs - mount pcfs file systems
SYNOPSIS
mount -F pcfs [generic_options] [-o FSType-specific_options] special | mount_point
mount -F pcfs [generic_options] [-o FSType-specific_options] special mount_point
DESCRIPTION
mount attaches an MS-DOS file system (pcfs) to the file system hierarchy at the mount_point, which is the pathname of a directory. If
mount_point has any contents prior to the mount operation, these are hidden until the file system is unmounted.
If mount is invoked with special or mount_point as the only arguments, mount will search /etc/vfstab to fill in the missing arguments,
including the FSType-specific_options; see mount(1M) for more details.
The special argument can be one of two special device file types:
o A floppy disk, such as /dev/diskette0 or /dev/diskette1.
o A DOS logical drive on a hard disk expressed as device-name:logical-drive , where device-name specifies the special block device-file
for the whole disk and logical-drive is either a drive letter (c through z) or a drive number (1 through 24). Examples are
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0p0:c and /dev/dsk/c0t0d0p0:1.
The special device file type must have a formatted MS-DOS file system with either a 12-bit, 16-bit, or 32-bit File Allocation Table.
OPTIONS
generic_options
See mount(1M) for the list of supported options.
-o
Specify pcfs file system specific options. The following options are supported:
foldcase|nofoldcase
Force uppercase characters in filenames to lowercase when reading them from the filesystem. This is for compatibility with the pre-
vious behavior of pcfs. The default is nofoldcase.
FILES
/etc/mnttab table of mounted file systems
/etc/vfstab list of default parameters for each file system
ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:
+-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
| ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE |

|Availability |SUNWesu |

SEE ALSO

NOTES
If the directory on which a file system is to be mounted is a symbolic link, the file system is mounted on the directory to which the sym-
bolic link refers, rather than on top of the symbolic link itself.
