I have tried some boot/root images and can get in but am unable to mount and access the required scsi drives. Can anyone assist me with a simple (idiots guide) to getting this reset so I can get the system up and running and learn a little more about this. =20 thanks in advance =20 Brendon =20 ------_=_NextPart_001_01C612C4.CEA1FB90 Content-Type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; = charset=3Dus-ascii"> <META content=3D"MSHTML 6.00.2900.2802" name=3DGENERATOR></HEAD> <BODY> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2><SPAN class=3D354292113-06012006>Hi=20 all</SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2><SPAN=20 class=3D354292113-06012006></SPAN></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2><SPAN = class=3D354292113-06012006>Firstly I must admit=20 to being a beginner in this game, with very patchy to non existent=20 knowledge. </SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2><SPAN=20 class=3D354292113-06012006></SPAN></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2><SPAN = class=3D354292113-06012006>I have=20 inherited a sun SPARCstation 10 with only a floppy disc (no cd) and the = usual=20 network attachments etc and with redhat gnome installed. the only = issue is=20 the previous owner (old network admin) departed without leaving us the = login=20 details.
