Ok, I found this article:
boot: cannot open kernel/sparcv9/unix
However it doesn't quite describe my situation.
I have created a jumpstart DVD that works great, and installs my customized Solaris-10 (Yes 10, not 8 or 9 per previous posts) . It jumps and installs on V240's Ultra -20's Ultra 40's No problem.
However when I go to install on a a UltraSparc-iiI laptop (this used to work) the jump goes fine, but after the install, THEN with my newly built and patched systems, boot does the following:
cannot open kernel/sparcv9/unix
Enter filename [kernel/sparcv9/unix]:
From here I can indeed type: “/platform/sun4u/kernel/sparcv9/unix”
And hit enter for the next question. When asked about kernel modules.
And then the laptop boots just fine.
So where have I gone wrong??? Again the DVD does boot and properly jump/install the system, and works fine on other UltraSparc arch's, but on this laptop it doesn't work on reboot unless I specify the kernel path???
Thanks!!
