Thanks to everyone who replied. 

After starting all over I tried again to do a boot cdrom from the 4/01
Version of Solaris 8, I was able to do a re-install. It looks like the patch
from SUN for the AC200's and SUN Blades does not work and the pre-install of
the OS on the brand spankin' box was corrupted. I just wonder what the beta
version of Solaris 9 will be like.

Thanks to everyone =

After starting all =
over I tried again to do a boot cdrom from the 4/01 Version of Solaris =
8, I was able to do a re-install. It looks like the patch from SUN for =
the AC200's and SUN Blades does not work and the pre-install of the OS =
on the brand spankin' box was corrupted. I just wonder what the beta =
version of Solaris 9 will be like.

We have just received our first new =
Netra T1 AC200 system. When I power it on and from a serial console I =
go to the lom&gt; and type poweron to start the system identification, =
and nothing happens. I have just tried to boot the system (and it is =
set to boot from disk and then net) but after it runs all the system =
information it never comes to a full booted status,&nbsp; it hangs with =
the a repeated message &quot;Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet&quot;. =
I do have a valid network connection and I have reseated the Server =
System Configuration Card but the same message appears. I have also =
tried to do a reinstall of the latest version of Solaris 8&nbsp; 04/01 =
(which AC200 is supported in the kernel) but it still fails too. I have =
used the new CD (a patch) that came with the AC200 too but to no =
success. I believe it is the Server Configuration card that is the =
problem because it determines if the system boots or can load a new =
install. I have done a probe-scsi and the drives do appear and they =
have been reseated. If anyone can offer any insight it would be =
appreciated.
