boots up and, similar to linux, goes through the kernel boot messages. I see only a few lines that are familiar to me. It gets locked in a loop looking for the network and nameserver. I do not really want to use the OS that is installed (I do not have any logins or passwords, so I will need to install linux to have any access anyway.) I have only worked with intel hardware, so I am COMPLETELY lost!!
Thank you
As far as I remember, there is a possibility to get into the "boot from anything else" mode. I haven't looked much for the old spark, I remember a question like "press r to restart or ..." for instance after downing the machine. I am on annual leave and will return Monday 25th. I can look in the dokumentation as soon as I am back. Does (Intel)Linux support sun's file system? Any chance to take the disk, mount it on an intel machine and edit /etc/passwd? Suppose, your chances are very poor. ;-(( Juergen -- ========================================== __ _ Jürgen Braukmann e-mail: brauki@cww.de | / / (_)__ __ ____ __ Tel: 0201-743648 dk4jb@db0qs.#nrw.deu.eu | / /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / ========================================== /____/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
