v40z 's and booting from usb cdrom 2006-02-16 - By Illtud Daniel
Back
In case anybody's following this with interest (or more
likely, googling it in years to come), Sun has come back
with "network boot only option on 6-disk v40z", and our
workaround has been:
Open the box.
Get the connector which used to connect to the DVD/floppy
unit (single IDC-style connector for IDE, floppy & power).
Extend the connector out through the unsightly hole left
by removing the DVD/floppy connector.
Hide the connector behind the front panel until you need
to plug it into the retained DVD/floppy unit to boot
from CD.
Not pretty, but the routes to getting SCSI/IDE all the way
back to the backplane weren't easy, and this way also
supplies power.
