Hello world,
Here is the original question:
> I have a problem with an old Sun IPC Workstation which always tries to boot
> from the net. Since we don't have any diskless clients this does not work, of
> course. Every time I try to reboot this machine I have to L1-A the
> boot-process (initiated by shutdown -r) und type `boot disk'. The latter
> works.
>
> To my knowledge the eeprom settings are okay. The problem occured for the
> first time after I've replaced the CPU-board (keeping the EEPROM). The value
> of the `boot-device' setting works when used as argument to `boot'.

I got lots of answers. Most of them suggested to set diag-switch? to false,
because otherwise the IPC tries to boot from diag-device which is set to net.
Others suggested to set the diag-device to disk. Both solutions did work!
Thanks for your help
