is a list of all subsystems which were found to have errors. There is not
enough room to save information about all of the errors that were found (only
the last one), but this minimal information about each is recorded.
You should copy down the information from the screen, then call Sun Microsystems Field
Service, or your local Field Service representative. The system will attempt to bootstrap
itself despite the error.
A.l.3. No Errors from Self Test
The following display results:
Self Test completed successfully.

The monitor then begins auto-boot.
A.2. Automatic Boot Procedure
The monitor immediately attempts to boot from a default device (it tries a Xylogics SMD
Disk Controller, then a SCSI Disk Controller, and finally tries to boot over the network):
Auto-boot in progress
Boot:
di~k(O,O,O,Ymunix
Load: di,k(O,O,O)boot
Boot: di,k(O,O,O)vmunix

etc ...
Di,k is the device name of the "best" local or network disk the monitor could find. The file
called
vmuniz
is booted from it. This file does not have to contain a
UNIX
kernel; it can con-
tain any program you like, as long as the disk is in 4.2BSD
UNIX
file system format. It is
also possible to set up the disk to boot a small program which need not
be
in a
UNIX
file
system. This discussion assumes that the disk is set up for
UNIX.
A.3. Booting from Specific Devices
The Sun Workstation can be booted from:
• Any logical partition of a local disk.
• Any publicly available network disk partition on your Ethernet.
• The first file of a local tape drive.
As
mentioned above, the monitor automatically attempts to boot
tJmuniz
from a default
disk. If you want to boot a different program, or from a different device, you must stop the
automatic boot process by aborting. The specific abort sequence depends on your keyboard
type. For a Sun-I Model 100U or 150U, the sequence is either 'SET-UP-A' (hold down the
