Solaris 9 "XIR Host due to Watchdog"

Hi, I'm having a problem jumpstarting my new V240 server.

The problem I'm experiencing with Jumpstart is that when I try to start the process, the jumpstart hangs just after it warns me that the Hardware Watchdog is enabled. I have tried to do a number of things to disable this watchdog from the ok prompt, but I have not been able to succeed in furthering the jumpstart from this point.

The following is a verbose output from the client upon boot as well as a snoop of the communication between the jumpstart server and client.

ANY help that anyone could offer would be very welcome as I have been pouring over this problem for quite a few days now.

Thanks.

- Dave

For whatever reason... <b>boot net - install</b> as opposed to <b>boot net -install</b> solved the problem. - Dave
