Hmm... My first thought was a bad drive, but you've got two hard drives and a CD-ROM drive on the SCSI bus, and you can't boot off any of them, right? I'll guess that either the SCSI bus is improperly terminated, or you have a bad cable...maybe a broken pin. -- Rich

WLUGers-

Remember the SUN ULTRA1 that I recently acquired? It does not boot from disk and it does not boot from CD drive. I have a complete Aurora Linux .iso disk set available.

Here is the complete (unsuccessful) powerup/boot process. Any good information in it? Is the machine worth saving? What needs to be swapped out?
