Hardware
Hi
I have a problem to start up my Solaris Ultra 5. When it boots up I get a strange clicking sound, sounds like the hard drive that is "thinking" very hard. On the screen I get these messages:
Boot device: Files and Args:
Please check cable and try again
Network link setup fail
Time out waiting for ARP/RARP packet
These messages just keep on repeating and it does not go any further than that.
Thanks
Orange

rarpd(8) System Manager's Manual rarpd(8)
NAME
rarpd - Reverse address resolution protocol (RARP) daemon
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/rarpd [interface] [-v] [-n] [-f filename]
OPTIONS
Specifies the system's network interface. Causes rarpd to operate in verbose mode. This option logs details of RARP to syslog. The
instance of a RARP request and its response are also logged. Disables checking of the ethers(4) file. By default, rarpd checks the ethers
file once every ten minutes, and, if the file was modified, rarpd rereads the file. If you specify the -n option rarpd scans the
/etc/ethers file once at startup time. Reads an alternate Ethernet address file.
DESCRIPTION
The rarpd daemon maps the Ethernet address of a machine to the machine's Internet Protocol (IP) address.
When rarpd is invoked, it reads the /etc/ethers file (by default) and waits to process a RARP request. The /etc/ethers file is checked
every ten minutes for any changes. If the file has been modified, rarpd reads it again. You can disable this feature with the -n option.
You can force a scan of the /etc/ethers file by sending the rarpd daemon a SIGHUP signal. See signal(2) for more information on SIGHUP.
The format of the /etc/ethers file is described in ethers(4). You can specify a file other than /etc/ethers with the -f option. The inter-
face is the network interface on which the rarpd daemon should listen. The command netstat -i shows the correct interface or interfaces for
your system. The rarpd daemon uses the first interface it finds, if you do not specify an interface. See the netstat(1) reference page for
more information.
Because the rarpd daemon has been implemented with the Ethernet Packet Filter (see packetfilter(7)), you must configure your kernel with
the packet filter option in order for rarpd to function properly. The packet filter detects RARP broadcast packets and passes them to rarpd
for processing. The filter priority for rarpd is set to 28.
All messages from the rarpd daemon are directed to syslog.
RESTRICTIONS
The rarpd daemon ignores all ARP requests sent encapsulated within a RARP packet. ARP requests are handled directly by the kernel.
The machine for which an IP address is being requested must be present in the server's /etc/hosts file.
ERRORS
If the Packet Filter is not configured in your kernel, the following message is displayed on the console window and logged to syslog: PACK-
ETFILTER is not configured in /vmunix
FILES
Database that maps Ethernet addresses to hostnames
