Connect using ALOM to Sun Fire V210

I have bought from eBay a second hand Sun Fire V210 server and I'm really stumped at the lack of complete instructions on how to connect to it. I don't have a Windows machine, I've only got Ubuntu and OS X computers. None of them have an old RS-232 port on them either. In saying that, I have...

V210 to V440

I'm currently trying to move a perfectly find harddrive from a V210 to a V440. From what I can tell, the disk labeling a bit different, (V210 is c1t0d0 and V440 is c0t0d0). My question is, what all do I have to change to get the V440 to boot off of this with very little complications. Right now, it...

NAME

     gem -- ERI/GEM/GMAC Ethernet device driver

SYNOPSIS

     gem* at pci? dev ? function ?
     gem* at sbus? slot ? offset ?

     Configuration of PHYs may also be necessary.  See mii(4).

DESCRIPTION

     The gem driver provides support for the GMac Ethernet hardware found mostly in the last Apple PowerBooks G3s and most G4-based Apple hard-
     ware, as well as many Sun UltraSPARCs.

     Cards supported by this driver include:
	   o   Sun GEM gigabit ethernet (SX fibre variants)
	   o   Sun ERI 10/100
	   o   Apple GMAC

     The GEM family supports hardware checksumming to assist in computing IPv4 TCP checksums.  The gem driver supports this feature of the chip.
     See ifconfig(8) for information on how to enable this feature.

HISTORY

     The gem device driver appeared in NetBSD 1.6.  Support for PCI SX fibre cards was added in NetBSD 5.0.  Support for SBus SX fibre cards was
     added in NetBSD 5.0.

AUTHORS

     The gem driver was written by Eduardo Horvath <eeh@NetBSD.org>.  SX fibre support was added by Julian Coleman <jdc@NetBSD.org>.  The man page
     was written by Thomas Klausner <wiz@NetBSD.org>.

BUGS

     The hardware checksumming support does not support IPv4 UDP, although this was allowed prior to NetBSD 5.0.  Also, the hardware IPv4 TCP
     receive checksumming support has bugs, so this is disabled.

     On the SX fibre variants of the hardware, the link will stay down if there is a duplex mismatch.  Also, packet transmission may fail when in
     half-duplex mode.
