A friend of mine is really interested in splack so I installed it on his sparcstation 5.

This is where it get\'s wierd. upon reboot it refuses to boot. it sits there in the Spacr firmware with an error that it can not boot from the disc. if I manually specify \"boot disc1:1\" it happily boots.

why is his not booting automatically like mine? anyone have a clue how to set it to always try to boot disc1:1?

thanks.

How many drives are fitted in the machine ?
If there is only one drive it is fitted in the wrong slot

If you have 2 internal drives you will need to change the OBP settings with setenv
