<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a problem that I thought someone might have
experienced before. I am trying to get the machine to boot from an install
cd, but things aren't going as planned.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a sun blade, with only USB keyboard/mouse
input. It is currently running solaris 9, but it is flaky - meaning,
when I try to open a shell console, CDE gets a black background, and no shell
opens. The mouse and window manager remain responsive, but I can't get to
a shell to init 0.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Since there is no sun keyboard, stop-a isn't
available. Ctrl-break should work, but it isn't working via the usb
keyboard adapter.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I tried the 'hit the power button after initial
beep,' but that doesn't get me any closer to an openboot prompt.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any ideas?</FONT></DIV>
