After running 'sysinst' on a Sun SPARC2 with the defaults (minus the
---
Boot device: /sbus/esp@0,800000 sd0,3 File and args: netbsd
SCSI device 3,0 is not responding
Can't open boot device

I've tried several variations on the 'boot' command:
boot netbsd -s
boot sd() netbsd -s
All give same response. I should note that the NVRAM on this machine is dead
and I did the following at initial boot to spoof an ethernet/host id:
setenv diag-switch? false
0 f mkp
8 0 20 AA BB CC AABBCC mkpl
^D ^R
boot
where AA - CC are the last three hex values from the machine's local IP4
ethernet address - ie for 192.168.2.3 => AA=a8, BB=02, CC=03
This worked well enough to boot from a floppy set, run sysinst & fetch the
binaries via ftp. After sysinst did its thing it printed "...the machine
should now boot from the hard disk", at which point I selected 'reboot
machine', leading to the errors mentioned.
I'm a novice wrt SPARCs => I'm probably missing something obivious here but
I don't know what. For reference, here is the results of 'probe-scsi all'
(at the 'ok' prom prompt):
ok probe-scsi all
Target 0
Unit 0 Disk DEC DSP3107LS 441C00004998033!
all ?
ok
