NVRAM battery is empty so netbooting is probably not an option. Booting from CDROM seems difficult as well, maybe try different media or different SCSI CDROM players?

Booting from CDROM seems difficult. Netbooting works since blathijs replaced the NVRAM battery.

Specs

  • 128MB ram
  • 9.1GB harddisk but layout of the old 2.2GB one
  • UltraSPARC 167MHz
  • Debian 7

This machines is hooked up to the LDAP for user management, but also has a local root user with the familiar password. ;)

Todo

  • Fix hard disk layout so that whole disk can be used, or maybe use an ever bigger one

Netboot tips and tricks

This information can be useful when reinstalling:

On some machine in the network

  • Run a rarp server
  • Put this line in /etc/ethers (MAC address of Ultra 1 and a free ip address in our range)

8:0:20:82:ca:1a 192.168.1.200

  • Put a line in /etc/hosts with hostname/ip

On the TFTP server

  • Download boot.img from Debian (Debian 6 works for this machine, Debian 7 doesn't)
  • Check /var/log/daemon.log for the filename requested by our Ultra 1
  • Rename boot.img or make a symlink

Now the installer should start when you type "boot net" in OpenBoot
