1.Netra X1, Corrupt text received via serial connection
Hi, I have just got hold of a Sun Netra X1 and would like to install Solaris 9 (or 10) onto it. The problem I have is that when I connect to the serial console I get the LOM prompt alright, but after typing some commands like "help" I get back scrambled text with some parts recognizable. I am using a Cisco serial cable which has the same pinout as the sun original cable (I have also made up a cable as per the Sun spec in the netra manual). I have also tried connecting to the server via a Linux server, a Sun Sparstation 5 and a windows laptop (using a variety of software hyperterm, kermit, etc). All have the same issue. I'd be very grateful for any opinions, ideas, etc. Thanks in advance. James.
2.Netra X1 - Can't open boot device
Hi, I'm rebuilding a Netra X1 with Solaris 8 2/02..... I can build it off the network, and the build goes successfully. However, when I reboot, and the box tries to boot from disk, it gives me the following: ..... Boot device: /pci@1f,0/ide@d/disk@0,0 FIle and args: Evaluating: boot disk Can't open boot device ...... and then it tries to boot from the network again. Any thoughts? The hardware is good, I just can't seem to point it to a good boot device. Please help. - Thanks, Todd

4.Install Solaris on a Netra X1 server
Hi everybody, I've got virtually no experince with Sun hardware, I've done some reading of documents from Sun's website. I've got a Netra X1 and I want to install Solaris on it. Can anyone point a good document that will guide me in doing this? Thanks. Sean
5.Simplest way to plug disks on a Netra x1
Hi, I've solved my "blinking spanner LED" problem, now I have a brand new 400-MHz Netra that I would like to use to install Oracle. But I'll need space: I only have a 20-gig disk, and would like to know what is the simplest manner to add disk space to this machine (as I said I know *nothing* about Sun/Solaris configuration, and I wonder if there's a way to plug a disk to this netra as easily as you plug an USB external disk box to a PC...). On the back of this machine I have 4 RJ-45 entries (A LOM, B SERIAL, NET 0 and NET 1) plus 2 USB ports. What advice could you please give me ? Once again thanks for you help, Spendius
