[MLB-WIRELESS] Old SparcStation 4?

[Ben Holko]

"probe-scsi-all" at the Ok prompt, and see if it sees the attached CD
 
by default your CD will need to be SCSI ID 6 to boot off it
 
good luck :)

Hi there,
 
I have a habit of obtaining old computers. Basically when no one else
wants then  :>)
 
This time I have aquired a Sparc Workstation.  It is still at work and
before I drag the computer and "bloody" heavy monitor, does anyone know
of a use for this? should I just forget it? It has Solaris Unix on it
but I cant get access to it, the login and password is long since lost
in time, not even the IT people here at work remember it.  I would like
to put something like SPLACK (Sparc Slackware) but cant get the external
scsi cdrom to be reconised.  I keep getting "cant boot device" when
telling it to "boot cdrom" from the openboot "bios" OK> prompt.
 
Any info regarding this piece of history would be greatly appreciated.
 
Naturally, any computer on my network is connected to the wireless nodes
I have so it's all! related to wireless just before the flamers shoot me
down for being OT.  :>)
 
Thnaks
 
Mark
