I am having issues getting a non-Solaris OS to install on it.  I was 
wondering if someone has some advice or possible causes, as the 
internet is not being kind to me on this one.

First, when booting Solaris I get these messages about the sync 
transfer rate being reduced:

WARNING: /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3 (glm0):
         SCSI bus DATA IN phase parity error
WARNING: /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3 (glm0):
         Target 0 reducing sync. transfer rate
WARNING: /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3 (glm0):
         SCSI bus DATA IN phase parity error
WARNING: /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3 (glm0):
         Target 1 reducing sync. transfer rate

Not a big deal as far as I can tell.  The system stays up and seems to 
be stable.

I am sure both of the drives in the system are from this generation of 
the Sun family, and the same thing happens no matter which drive I 
leave in (or if I try different ones).

I did reset the NVRAM to defaults to rule out any funky settings from 
the previous owner:

Sun Ultra 30 UPA/PCI (UltraSPARC-II 296MHz), No Keyboard
OpenBoot 3.27, 128 MB memory installed, Serial #9645376.
Ethernet address 8:0:20:93:2d:40, Host ID: 80932d40.

ok set-defaults
Setting NVRAM parameters to default values.

When booting a FreeBSD 5.2.1 miniinst ISO I get:

(da1:sym0:0:1:0): READ(06). CDB: 8 0 0 1 1 0
(da1:sym0:0:1:0): CAM Status: SCSI Status Error

(da1:sym0:0:1:0): Initiator detected error message received field 
replaceable unit: 2
(da1:sym0:0:1:0): Retrying Command (per Sense Data)

Which I cannot find anything on.

When booting a NetBSD 1.6.2 ISO I do not get many errors during the 
install, but after the reboot it just breaks into the debugger:

sd0(siop0:0:0:0): command with tag id 1 reset
sd0: async, 8-bit transfers, tagged queueing
sd0: sync (50.0ns offset 15), 16-bit (40.000MB/s) transfers, tagged 
queueing

init: not found
panic: no init
kdb breakpoint at 12c8354
Stopped in pid 1 (init) at      cpu_Debugger+0x4:       nop
db>

Just wondering if anyone has any ideas on this.

Thanks in advance,
Jeremy
