Operating Systems Solaris cannot find boot device and won't boot off cdrom Post 48839 by kymberm on Thursday 18th of March 2004 11:29:53 AM

FIXED and you'll never guess what it was

wow, never saw this and not sure why it just happened, but the problem was end termination of the scsi chain. The last device had the wrong scsi id AND wasn't terminated. This has worked for over a year so not sure why it happened now, and not sure how those pins got changed, because when it was set up it was correct. but that was it completely. So hope this helps someone else.
