Hi All,
Anyone has configured a Sunix Sata S150 card (AKA Initio Inic-1622) + disk in a Solaris10/x86 05/09 system? I wondered what to do to get it running. The Sunix card does not come with a Solaris driver ;-(

bootadm(1M) System Administration Commands bootadm(1M)NAME
bootadm - manage bootability of GRUB-enabled operating system
SYNOPSIS
/sbin/bootadm update-archive [-vn] [-R altroot [-p platform]]
/sbin/bootadm list-archive [-vn] [-R altroot [-p platform]]
x86 only
/sbin/bootadm set-menu [-R altroot [-p platform]] key=value
/sbin/bootadm list-menu [-R altroot [-p platform]]
DESCRIPTION
The bootadm command manages the boot archive and, with x86 boot environments, the GRUB (GRand Unified Bootloader) menu. The update-archive
option provides a way for user to update the boot archive as a preventative measure or as part of a recovery procedure. The set-menu sub-
command allows you to switch the auto-boot timeout and default boot entry in the GRUB menu.
The list-menu subcommand displays the location of the GRUB menu and the current GRUB menu entries. While the typical location of the GRUB
menu is /boot/grub/menu.lst, depending on the install method used the active GRUB menu might be located somewhere else. Use the list-menu
subcommand to locate the active GRUB menu. For example, if a system was installed using Live Upgrade, the GRUB menu might not be located in
the current boot environment. See the EXAMPLES section for typical output from the list-menu option.
Note that OpenBoot PROM (OBP)-based machines, such as SPARC systems, do not use GRUB and have no boot menu manageable by bootadm.
The bootadm command determines dynamically the options supported by the image to be managed, so that bootadm invoked on one platform can be
used to manage diskless clients of a different platform type.
SUBCOMMANDS
The bootadm command has the following subcommands:
update-archive
Updates current boot archive if required. Applies to both SPARC and x86 platforms.
list-archive
Lists the files and directories to be included in the boot archive. Applies to both SPARC and x86 platforms.
set-menu
Maintain the GRUB menu. The current GRUB menu is boot/grub/menu.lst, relative to root. Do not depend on this location, because it is
subject to change. Applies to x86 platforms only.
list-menu
Lists the location of the active GRUB menu, as well as the current GRUB menu entries. This includes the autoboot-timeout, the default
entry number, and the title of each entry. Applies to x86 platforms only.
OPTIONS
The bootadm command has the following options:
-v
In an update-archive operation, stale files are displayed on stderr.
-n
In an update-archive operation, archive content is checked but not updated.
-p platform
The platform, or machine hardware class, of the client. The platform type can only be specified together with -R, and is generally use-
ful only for managing a diskless client where the client is of a different platform class than the server. Platform must be one of
i86pc, sun4u, or sun4v.
-R altroot
Operation is applied to an alternate root path.
Note -
The root file system of any non-global zones must not be referenced with the -R option. Doing so might damage the global zone's file
system, might compromise the security of the global zone, and might damage the non-global zone's file system. See zones(5).
key=value
Possible values are:
default=entrynum
The item number (for example, 0, 1, or 2) in the GRUB menu designating the operating system to boot when the timer expires.
timeout=seconds
The number of seconds before the operating system designated by the default item number is booted. If the value is -1, auto boot is
disabled.
EXAMPLES
Example 1 Updating the Current Boot Archive
The following command updates the current boot archive:
# bootadm update-archive
Example 2 Updating the Boot Archive on an Alternate Root
The following command updates the boot archive on an alternate root:
# bootadm update-archive -R /a
Example 3 Listing Installed OS Instances
The following command lists the installed operating system instances in a GRUB menu:
# bootadm list-menu
default=0
timeout=10(0)Solaris10(1) Solaris10 Failsafe(2) Linux
Example 4 Switching Default Boot Entry
The following command refers to the menu displayed in the previous example. The user selects Linux (item 2).
# bootadm set-menu default=2
Example 5 Listing GRUB Menu Entries and Location of GRUB Menu
The following command lists the GRUB menu entries and the location of the GRUB menu:
# bootadm list-menu
The location for the active GRUB menu is: /stubboot/boot/grub/menu.lst
default 0
timeout 10
0 Solaris10
1 Solaris10 failsafe
2 Linux
Example 6 Displaying Location of GRUB Menu
The following command displays the location of the GRUB menu:
# bootadm list-menu
The location for the active GRUB menu is: /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0 (not mounted)
The filesystem type of the menu device is <ufs>
default 2
timeout 10
0 c0t1d0s3
1 c0t1d0s3 failsafe
2 Solaris10
3 Solaris10 failsafe
In this example, the active GRUB menu is located on a device which is not mounted. To access the GRUB menu, mount the device and access the
GRUB menu at <mountpoint>/boot/grub/menu.lst.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0
The command completed successfully.
1
The command exited due to an error.
