How do I move the disk containing Solaris from the ATAPI primary master controller to the secondary controller or slave connector (or both)?
• Move the disk with Solaris to the new location (secondary master controller or primary or secondary slave controller). • For Solaris 8 or 9, do not use the Installation CD. Use the “Software 1 of 2” CD. • Boot with “b -s” (without the quotes) instead of “1” or “2” when asked for the installation type • mount the root boot partition at /mnt • Reconfigure the device tree for Solaris 7 or earlier: drvconfig -r /mnt/devices devlinks -r /mnt disks -r /mnt • Verify that the links /mnt/dev/dsk/c1d0s* to ../../devices/* exist. • Type “rm /etc/path_to_install” (or remove all lines but comments in this file) • Edit file /mnt/boot/solaris/bootenv.rc. For example if you’re moving from the primary master to secondary master, change “ide@0” to “ide@1”: setprop bootpath ‘/pci@0,0/pci-ide@4,1/ide@0/cmdk@0,0:a’ to setprop bootpath ‘/pci@0,0/pci-ide@4,1/ide@1/cmdk@0,0:a’ These paths are similar for SCSI. If an x86 boot partition was used, then /boot is in the list and it should be mounted first. • Rem
