Good Afternoon,
I have 3 video driver packages in a directory that need to be installed. on a SunBlade 2500 running Solaris9. When I try running pkgadd -d /Recovery/CloneDrivers/SUNWpfbcf for...

Thanks.. Yes I was reading the man after I replied and realized 'uname -i' was correct and 0 is the right slice. (Should have thought to check that sooner- sorry)
To be clear, I'm supposed to...

Thanks.. I've proceeded further along but have finally hit a snag.



I was unable to install boot blocks using this: # installboot /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk...

Thanks.. Does that mean I should remove it? Or can I just leave it on the root as well as the other slices?

Good Morning,

Thanks. Haven't tried that yet because I made progress..


After trying all of my opened ROMs that are dated 8/03, 12/03, and 4/04, the 4/04 Operating environment gave me the Can't read disk...

Good Afternoon,

bash-2.05# init 0

Rebooting with command: boot cdrom -s

OK, I ran the commands and the user was able to log in successfully after the uid change. He also looked around his files on the NAS and Thanks! Though I now noticed that while his uid matches...

Thanks. Haven't tried this one yet.. Being overly cautious so I wanted to ask- Is this the cause of the login issue I was having when I changed the uid before or could it be something else? Many...

find /home/jsmith -user 67123 -exec chown -h 1012 {} +
I think I like this (find) one because it...

Thanks- I checked machine 1 only (since I have 2 shut down right now) /etc/mttab shows nfs for the NAS mounts.

I don't know if its intelligent enough to share...

Hmm- it was set up like that prior to my arrival- possibly for years- I simply moved files from machine 1 to the NAS and then added symbolic links on both machines to the directories on the NAS.
