Ultra 60 won't boot
I just was given an Ultra 60 that I'm trying to get started so that I can re-load the system with Solaris 10. I can't seem to get the system to boot past the initial memory check. I've tried to do an Stop-A to get to the eeprom, but can't do that. My next step is to try to send a break from the serial port.

Here is what I get when I boot:

Sun Ultra 60 UPA/PCI (UltraSPARC-II 360 MHZ), Keyboard Present
OpenBoot 3.23, 256 MB memory installed, Serial #10577431.
Ethernet address 8:0:20:a1:66:17, Host ID: 80a16617

Then it does the little whirly thing counting the memory and I get a block cursor.

thats it....can anyone help me...

thanks

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:

	   device scbus
	   device trm

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

	   trm_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     The trm driver supports PCI SCSI host adapters based on the Tekram TRM-S1040 SCSI ASIC.

HARDWARE

     SCSI controllers supported by the trm driver include:

     o	 Tekram DC-315 PCI Ultra SCSI adapter without BIOS and internal SCSI connector
     o	 Tekram DC-315U PCI Ultra SCSI adapter without BIOS
     o	 Tekram DC-395F PCI Ultra-Wide SCSI adapter with flash BIOS and 68-pin external SCSI connector

     o	 Tekram DC-395UW PCI Ultra-Wide SCSI adapter with flash BIOS
     o	 Tekram DC-395U2W PCI Ultra2-Wide SCSI adapter with flash BIOS
