Question stand alone wants to boot off network
Hello Everybody,
I have a Sun Sparc 5 that used to have Solaris 8 on it. I wanted to build my skills at installing the software and then all went wrong for me. This computer is a stand alone, not networked at all. So I got my hands on Solaris 9 Sparc version, I went through the install and at the end as I rebooted it now says that it is trying to boot off the network. I chose not networked when that choice was offered and now I can not get it to stop doing that. So I tried to install the software again, same thing. I changed the disk it was booting off of, no good. I have tried so many avenues and I have yet to get it to come back to a working state. Can anybody offer any sound advise on this matter. Please help me, as I can not study any material with this kind of situation.

clprivnet

clprivnet(7)					     Sun Cluster Device and Network Interfaces					      clprivnet(7)

NAME

       clprivnet - SUNW,clprivnet Sun Cluster private network driver

SYNOPSIS

       /dev/clprivnet

DESCRIPTION

       Note -

	 Beginning  with  the Sun Cluster 3.2 release, Sun Cluster software includes an object-oriented command set. Although Sun Cluster software
	 still supports the original command set, Sun Cluster procedural documentation uses only the object-oriented command set. For more  infor-
	 mation about the object-oriented command set, see the Intro(1CL) man page.

       The  SUNW,clprivnet  Sun  Cluster  private  network driver is a STREAMS pseudo driver supporting Sun Cluster resident applications that use
       standard Solaris interfaces to communicate over the Sun Cluster private network. By striping data traffic over all links, this driver opti-
       mally utilizes the bandwidth of the private network while supporting highly available, software fault-tolerant communication.

APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE

       The driver is supported by the character-special device /dev/clprivnet, but is reserved for Sun Cluster internal operation and the standard
       Solaris network utilities. This interface must not be directly used for general application communication.

ADMINISTRATION

       The administration and configuration of the driver as a network interface is done completely by the Sun Cluster infrastructure internals.

FILES

       /dev/clprivnet

	   clprivnet special character device

       /usr/kernel/drv/clprivnet.conf

	   System-wide default device driver properties
