Can you boot to single user? after upgrading to the latest firmware, I can load 8.0 to silver and red 1500 blades: http://seis.bris.ac.uk/~mexas/freebsd/ Now my problem is graphics, or at least a text console. It looks like I've this graphics card (Sun data calles is graphics accelerator, but this the only graphics device in my 1500 blades, there is no other): Option Part description: X3780A 375-3153 XVR-600 Graphics Accelerator 3D LABS 54-001047-001 XVR-600 64MB PCI GRAPHICS CARD Anybody used this card with Sun? Is this card really not supported at all, even for text console? If I can get nowhere with this card, any advice for a card I could buy for Sun Blade 1500 (red or silver)? many thanks anton -- Anton Shterenlikht Room 2.6, Queen's Building Mech Eng Dept Bristol University University Walk, Bristol BS8 1TR, UK Tel: +44 (0)117 331 5944 Fax: +44 (0)117 929 4423
