Installing the Adapter on a System with an hme Device

6
Before installing the Sun Quad FastEthernet SBus Adapter into the system with
an hme device, you must remove all lines containing the hme device from the
/etc/path_to_inst file.
Warning – If you do not remove these lines, the system will encounter
problems when you reboot your system after the adapter installation.
1. As superuser (root), add write permissions to the
/etc/path_to_inst file.
# chmod 644 /etc/path_to_inst
2. Using a text editor, remove any line in the /etc/path_to_inst file that
contains a reference to an hme device.
Make sure that you save the file.
3. Install the Sun QuadFastEthernet Driver Software as "Installing the
Software Drivers From the CD-ROM" on page 12.
Note – Do not reboot the system prior to powering the system down to install
the adapter.
4. Power down the system and install the adapter as described in "Installing
the Adapter" on page 7.
After you have installed the adapter, see Chapter 3 for information on how
to configure the driver software.
