Got Error: Can't locate boot device

807559Dec 7 2006 — edited Jan 3 2007
Hi experts,

I have two new system 245 and installed solaris 9 sept release successfully. Each box has two hard-disks. I have copied all the content from primary disk to secondary disk and booted off the secondary disk and it was successful in one box but failed in second box.

installed same software, patch level, OS, same script. after failing I have re-formated and ran the script and failed again.

here is the detail message and it goes to ok prompt.

I verified alias is correct.

Rebooting with command: boot
Boot device: mybootdisk File and args:
Evaluating:

Can't locate boot device

this is the output from format command

0. c0t0d0 <SUN72G cyl 14087 alt 2 hd 24 sec 424>
/pci@1e,600000/pci@0/pci@a/pci@0/pci@8/scsi@1/sd@0,0

here is my eeprom output for disk alias

nvramrc=devalias mybootdisk /pci@1e,600000/pci@0/pci@a/pci@0/pci@8/scsi@1/disk@0,0
devalias myaltboot /pci@1e,600000/pci@0/pci@a/pci@0/pci@8/scsi@1/disk@1,0


PS: error is not one of the following from the list

bootblk: can't find the boot program
boot: cannot open kernel/unix
Cannot open '/etc/path_to_inst'
Can't stat /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0
