UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

I just flashed my Test Internal and External FW's. After the image has been successfully put onto the server, it automatically reboots itself. During the boot up process when it goes to boot, I have to hit the esc key 4 or five times and type boot -a. Well I don't get to this point and I get the following error, does anybody have any info to help me figure this out.

Cannot mount root on /pseudo/md@0:0,0,blk fstype ufs

I Suppose that you are using a jumpstart server with Solaris 8,
and you create a flar archive (with the flar create command) and then you reinstall the server with a flash_install method?. It's true? the server is an sun4u sparc server? .

Can you capture the output of:
a) the environment
ok printenv
b) a reboot with the diag-switch activated
ok setenv diag-switch? true

The server has a cdrom?
