Operating Systems Solaris T5220 not able to boot from USB Post 303029255 by solaris_1977 on Wednesday 23rd of January 2019 05:38:35 PM

I downloaded 11.3 and recreated bootable USB
Code:
root@sparc1:/var/tmp# usbcopy sol-11_3-text-sparc.usb
Image type: dd-able Sparc
Found the following USB devices:
0:      /dev/rdsk/c10t0d0s2     15.2 GB General  UDisk            5.00
Enter the number of your choice: 0

WARNING: All data on your USB storage will be lost.
Are you sure you want to install to
General UDisk 5.00, 15200 MB at /dev/rdsk/c10t0d0s2 ?  (y/n) y
Copying and verifying image to USB device
Finished 991 MB in 255 seconds (3.8MB/s)
0 block(s) re-written due to verification failure
Completed copy to USB
root@sparc1:/var/tmp#

But I am not able to boot from this USB drive. It doesn't even try to search and then give up. as soon as I hit boot command, it fails instantly. So I am assuming, probably I am not giving proper/complete path ?
OBP 4.27 is minimum required OBP level for USB support and I have 4.33

NAME
usb-devices - print USB device details SYNOPSIS
usb-devices DESCRIPTION
usb-devices is a (bash) shell script that can be used to display details of USB buses in the system and the devices connected to them. The output of the script is similar to the usb/devices file available either under /proc/bus (if usbfs is mounted), or under /sys/ker- nel/debug (if debugfs is mounted there). The script is primarily intended to be used if the file is not available. In contrast to the usb/devices file, this script only lists active interfaces (those marked with a "*" in the usb/devices file) and their endpoints. Be advised that there can be differences in the way information is sorted, as well as in the format of the output. RETURN VALUE
If sysfs is not mounted, a non-zero exit code is returned. FILES
/sys/bus/usb/devices/usb* The part of the sysfs tree the script walks through to assemble the printed information. /proc/bus/usb/devices Location where the usb/devices file can normally be found for Linux kernels before 2.6.31, if usbfs is mounted. /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices Location where the usb/devices file can normally be found for Linux kernel 2.6.31 and later, if debugfs is mounted.
