Trying to update OBP getting unrecognized magic number in media label

Two questions both relating to my trying to update my OBP:
1. when I typebanner I get ... AXi (UltraSPARC-IIi), PS/2 keyboard
OpenBoot 3.10.12 SME...
but when I type .version I get OBP 3.10.12
My question is which OBP update to use, AXi OBP 3.10.13 or OBP 3.10.31?
2. When I try to install either I always get the same thing
I copied the .Floppy file to a floppy
then type boot floppy nolabel just like the readme and I get this:
Unrecognized magic number in media label
Can't open disk label package
Can't open boot deviceI have also tried coping the program file to a cd and tyring boot cdrom nolabel but same results
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hello,
because the DTK boards don't support faster CPUs than 333MHz, this is a Sun board.
I was unable to locate the SPARCengine Ultra AXi OEM Service Manual, the file was finally removed. This is an alternate link
http://www.zmicro.com/download/sun-axi.pdf
The Solaris 10 media kits are only available with DVD media, but you can download the CD images. The Solaris documentation is available online
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/prod/solaris.10?l=en
I would strongly recommend that you give Solaris 10 a try !
You might try Aurora Linux. The Ultrax AXi is among the supported systems. Linux for SPARC capabilities are behind the x86/x64 versions.
This is the link to the project page

    @rachel,
    In your original post you showed a screen capture of what you tried.
    First you typed "boot disk1". ( Why disk1? Why not disk0?)
    When that didn't seem to work, you displayed the disks recognized by the system at OpenBoot.
    The first of those disks was a device path of
    /pci@500/pci@0/pci@9/LSILogic,sas@0/disk{code}
    and so you attempted to boot from that but omitted whatever slice might be the boot slice of a factory preinstalled OS.    For example...  
    {code:java}
    boot /pci@500/pci@0/pci@9/LSILogic,sas@0/disk@0,0{code}
    (just guessing at what could be that bootable slice).
    What happens if you simply type "*boot*" when you are at OBP?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

  • Sun Ultra 25 - Bad magic number in disk label

    I have a Sun Ultra 25 SPARC that is booting fine to it's 80GB SATA drive. Solaris 10, OpenBoot 4.22.19.
    Here's what I did:
    I installed a 2TB Western Digital SATA drive into the HDD1 slot.
    I formatted the disk in the HDD1 slot via the format command, labeled the disk, and divided it into partitions.
    I then used newfs to build the ufs on all partitions.
    I mirrored the disk in HDD0 to the disk in HDD1 using ufsdump for all partitions. The data is accessible and looks ok.
    After this was done I did an installboot to /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s0 (the / partition of the HDD1 slot).
    I then did a fsck on every partition to verify that they are okay.
    I then took the hard drive in HDD1 and put it in the HDD0 slot, now wanting to boot off that disk.
    At the reboot:
    Bad magic number in disk label
    Can't open disk label package
    If I do a probe-scsi:
    MPT Version 1.05, Firmware Version 1.08.03.00
    Target 0
    Unit 0 Disk ATA WDC WD20EADS-00R0A01 3907029168 Bocks, 2000 GB SATA device PhyNum 0
    As far as I can tell disk0 is the correct devalias which is:
    /pci@1e,600000/pci@0/pci@9/pci@0/scsi@1/disk@0,0
    I just don't understand how the fsck is okay, but the boot give bad magic number in disk label?
    The 80GB drive in HDD slot 0 works fine with the boot disk0 command, all I'm doing is swapping a larger disk with the same data for the smaller disk.

    if it is like any other Sun product, it needs to go through the format command and get a volname.... it is just a label, but it needs to be done.

  • Trying to update LR, get a prompt for serial number

    I'm already a CC subscriber and when I updated LR to 5.3, I get a "serial number or try it" prompt. Did I go about the update the wrong way? I should just get all updates automatically, right?

    thank you cor-el for your input. think it worked. won't know for sure until i try to update again. no updates available since i installed this version. thanks again

  • When trying to update, I get the message: Account not in this store,...switch to the Canadian store.  How do I do that?

    When trying to update apps, I get the message:  "Account not in this store,...switch to the Canadian store before purchasing"  How to I switch, and how did it even get changed to US store?  I don't remember changing anything, and I used to be able to update, no problem..  I have synced with my computer for music - could it have happened then?  I changed on the computer to Cdn site, but will it not go to the iPhone automatically?

    On you iPhone go to settings-iTunes & AppStore.
    Tap user name, sign out.
    Log back in with your apple ID and password.
    That should fix the problem

  • Trying to update keep getting a message "the ipod software update server could not be contacted Network connection could not be established" using mac OSX. done this with 2 ipod touches??

    trying to update 2 ipods but when I go through the process it says "The ipod software update server could not be contacted" "Network connection could not be established". One of the ipods is locked and I don't remember password.

    Here's what you can do in case of the forgotten password:
    Connect in recovery mode and restore, you'll get the option to rest the passcode during this process:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore and iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
    Check this post for the network problem:

  • HT1414 i have a 2008 ipod. trying to update and getting -1 error. Have reset Ipod and then tried, same prob

    I am trying to update and ipod touch 2008 8g. I keep getting the -1 error. I have reset and taken the apps and music off and am still getting that error.

    Error 1 or -1
    This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. in that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • While trying to update, I get error message 3259.

    While trying to update, I am getting error message 3259.  I think is a connectivity issue but I have connected using Airport and also tried hardwiring it and no luck.  This is a Nano 6th Gen.  Any suggestions?

    You make no mention of connecting directly to your computer.  Was this done?
    How are you hardwiring an iPod Nano?

  • After trying to update Firefox, get a dialogue box everytime I try to open Firefox.

    Tried to update Firefox. Now have two separate Firefox icons on my desktop. When I try to open either one, I get a dialogue box reading: "The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again." Firefox loads fine after closing box. Fix?

    If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    *Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • Trying to update iTunes, get error message "The older version of Bonjour cannot be removed" How do I remove it?

    Trying to update iTunes on Windows XP, get error message "The older version of Bonjour cannot be removed." I have removed several copies of the file Bonjour in a couple of different folders but the error message persists. What am I missing??

    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
    After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Bad Magic Number in Disk Label & DiskSuite

    Envrionment:
    E450
    Solaris 8
    DiskSuite 4.2.1
    16 disks
    Because of a power failure, after reboot one of the disks has bad magic number in its disk label. The slice was in a mirror. DiskSuite has hot spares and one of them took over the failed slice. I am trying to figure out how to get it back to where it was.
    I think I should use 'format' to recover the disk label from the backup label. However, once the label is recovered, how do I make it stop using the hotspare and have the failed slice join back to the mirror?
    Sorry if this is basic question, I am relatively new to Sun/Solaris and I just took over the E450.
    Thanks,

    Thanks,Since the host spare took over then you're free to repair/replace the bad drive. In this case you could check the drive using format and partition to view the partitions. If the label is bad then I would suspect the drive is still good and a simple format>label and save command would repair the label. Then once this is done if all goes well then the system should rebuild the drive and the hot spare will not longer be used. The system should regonize the drive as a replacement and rebuild it then stop using the hot spare.

  • After trying the updater I get a please quit the Adobe Crash Daemon!

    And of course i have no idea where it resides. I continue to get the message even after restarting. Help!

    I kept experiencing the same issue when I ran the updater via the bridge and selected more than one program at a time.  I resolved it by selecting each update individually. Weird. But everything updated.
    Thankyou for your response.
