NVEdit Tutorial -original post 2/7/05
27 October, 2005, 08:15 am
To get the nvramrc hack to work, I had to use nvedit directly, as the eeprom command formatted the contents kinda weird.
Here's a good tutorial on nvedit:

Restoring Settings from and older box -original post 2/7/05
27 October, 2005, 08:14 am
I copied my .profile and .vnc folders from the Solaris 9 system prior to building the new Solaris 10 system, and a few glaring issues became apparent after replacing them.
First, you can NOT simply drop your old .profile on to the new one with out making sure it won't break the new stuff. My problem is on the old system KDE was my default, thus /opt/sfw/kde/bin was in my path first and foremost. On Solaris 10, I'm using the sexy new Java Desktop (Gnome) and it's goodies are all stored in /usr/bin. I placed the missing /usr/bin in my path BEFORE the KDE path, and now they both work.
Second, as to VNC, you need to reset the permissions on xstartup in the .vnc folder before it can execute its script and start your desktop. Otherwise you'll only get a blank checkerboard screen and the oh-so-familiar X cursor. You can reset them like so:
chmod 0744 $home/.vnc/xstartup
If you want to start KDE, you can place startkde in your xstartup file. I've found that the JDS 3.0 works just fine with VNC, instead of startkde, use gnome-session. My xstartup looks like so:
#!/bin/sh
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
gnome-session
Now to figure out how to start this bugger automagically at boot....

Solaris 10 Install Cont...
27 October, 2005, 08:14 am
9:13pm - F2 again and the partition table is built. A quirk I don't care for is the default layout, and the /export/home automounter. I partitioned my install simply, / on one disk, swap and /home on the other. Both disks are 9.1gb 10K Seagate Cheetahs.
9:16pm - CD1 starts installing...back to /.
9:48pm - reboot, Trap 3e exception :( Had this before, bad superblock on the boot drive, most likely due to it being a UFS drive prior.
Crib'd this to fix it:
TRAP 3E
Cause
Ultra system fails to boot with TRAP 3E. The system sometimes also
displays bad magic number errors.
This is caused by a bad superblock on the boot disk. Which, in turn,
could have beee caused by a SCSI configuration problem.
Action
To fix:
1. Check SCSI bus for illegal configuration, bad cables, and duplicate
SCSI addresses;
2. Boot from cdrom in single user.
OK boot cdrom -sw
3. Attempt to fsck(1M) boot disk. This will probably fail with a
superblock error.
# fsck /dev/rdsk/device
4. Find out locations of alternate superblocks. BE SURE TO USE AN
UPPERCASE -N. For example:
# newfs -N /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0
/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0: 2048960 sectors in 1348 cylinders of 19 tracks,
80 sectors 1000.5MB in 85 cyl groups (16 c/g, 11.88MB/g, 5696 i/g)
super-block backups (for fsck -F ufs -o b=#) at:
32, 24432, 48832, 73232, 97632, 122032, 146432, 170832, 195232, 219632,
