Network Trouble Installing a SCSI Adapter

Okay. I admit I'm sort of a newbie in this regard.

I installed a SCSI adapter on a Sun Ultra 5 workstation. I did the standard STOP-A on the startup and got the OK prompt. I then tried probe-scsi-all. It dumps me back @ the OK prompt w/ no message whatsoever. I tried probe-scsi, nothing.

Just for kicks I installed the external tape drive that I'm attaching this port and did the same thing - dumped me back at the prompt.

Any ideas on what to check? It's kind of hard to tell with not error message or anything.

Thanks a lot in advance!

I would set the auto-boot to false, so it kicks you to the "ok" prompt. It is cleaner then a stop-A. Then try the probe-scsi-all.

You may need to do a reset-all from the boot prompt, stop-a before it come up and then do the probe-scsi-all

Are you sure the card is supported by the Ultra 5?
