Thanks for all the suggestions.. I don't think anyone nailed it on the head though.. The problem wasn't the booting from CD or mounting.. The problem was that the serial port on the X2100 M2 isn't a serial port.. No access to any bios or prom or whatever there.. Seems that to determine whether or not you have rebooted, you need a keyboard, mouse and monitor. There are other things that can be setup, and will probably work.. but whatever.. the good old days of the serial terminal access are over.. Once I attached the monitor and stuff it was easy to do the rest... Next problem came when I was cloning the drive.. and the dd of the 250G drive took quite a while... The cde had a timed lockout on the monitor.. So.. It needed the input of the password to unlock, so I could see whether or not the dd had finished.. Keyboard/mouse drivers didn't function.. No access.. couldn't type in password.. Sun Support totally useless on this.. Damn silly stuff this embedded lom and stupid locking cde environment.. Wasted a great deal of time on it.. And still couldn't finish.. Tomorrow is another day! Enjoyed the list response tho' sue _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Mon Dec 4 02:55:03 2006
