I just got a Sun Microsystems Ultra 10 Creator SPARC station!
It's really cool... but there's a small issue. It didn't have a hard drive, I gave it one.
So... how the heck can I get an OS on it?
I've tried:
None of the booted. :/
The computer turns on, I get the "ok" prompt after an NVRAM error (dead battery). Then I use "set-defaults" to set the options to their system defaults and "boot cdrom" to attempt a boot from a disk.
Specs:
300MHz
6448.6MB Western Digital HDD
256MB RAM
NEC ND-2510A DVD R/RW & CD R/RW (disk drive, non-stock)
NEC FD1231T (Floppy)
Built-In GPU
