I have successfully net booted my Ultra1. The hardware probe does not =
seem to recognize the internal scsi disk however. I don't see where the =
scsi controller is being probed either.=20
1. I have inherited this box and not really sure exactly what it is. It =
says Ultra1 creator on the front but how do I tell what it has for =
The `Creator' versions are the `e' models: 1/140e, 1/170e, 1/200e. Instead
of a TurboGX (cgsix) and FEPS (le/esp) they have FFB and Happy Meal (hme/fas).
hardware? I went to Sun's site and didn't see very much beyond the basic =
hardware listed for an Ultra1. How do I tell what scsi controllers it is =
using? I see that there are a couple of scsi controllers that are not =
supported, so I must have one of these but I would like to make sure.
2. If I do have one of the unsupported controllers then what would the =
list recommend?
Currently: le, esp, and hme are supported. fas is in-progress.
3. Also it has some kind of external scsi box connected to it that holds =
four scsi disks. Looks neat but can NetBSD use this thing?
Depends on what the box is. What does the label say?
