Re: E450 stuff

Hi,

I inherited an E450 from my old job. It booted Solaris just fine but I was never able to get any of (Free|Net|Open)BSD to install on it. I feel that this is probably more do to me than anything else. As time has passed it's become pretty obvious between the problems with the install and the cost for power to run, my chances of running this machine in my environment are NULL. I'd like to make just one more attempt at getting the machine running. But ultimately I will have it carted away.

This is what I have:

    Sun E450

         4 x 400 MHz UltraSparc II processors (Sun P/N 501-5446)
         4 x DC power regulator boards (Sun P/N 300-1322)
         4GB of RAM (16 x Sun P/N 501-4743)

    Spare E450 Mainboard
         2 x 300 MHz UltraSparc II processors (Sun P/N 501-4849)
         2 x DC power regulator boards (Sun P/N 300-1322)
         4GB of RAM (16 x Sun P/N 501-4743)

I'm going to spend an hour today working on this to see if I can get a working install but even if I do the whole things going to have to go away. If anyone is interested in any of this equipment please feel free to email or xmpp me (chris%vindaloo.com@localhost)


I forgot to mention that I'm located in Southern CT, USA (roughly 80 miles north of NYC on I-95)
