[simpits-tech] OT - Sun Sparcstation

[Brian Sikkema]

I'm not sure. According to the board layout I've found at
http://www.obsolyte.com/sun_ipc/, the other two fuses are for the keyboard
and ethernet, respectively.

I've done a lot of searching, and I haven't found much. I did find this
page, I'm not sure if this would help me or not:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-sparc/2003/07/msg00111.html

He said he changed the internal HD SCSI ID to 0 instead of 3, and that
helped. Problem is, I'm not sure how to change the SCSI ID on the HD. :( Any
help there would be appreciated, too. I'm not sure if it can be done via
software, and if so, if it can be done without logging in, which is my
primary problem. I got this computer surplus, and it still has the old
login/pass on it. I know how to reset it, if I can get it to boot from
CDROM, which I can't, because of the SCSI problem. Gah!!

Anywho, thanks for the help, I'm gonna keep at it.
