Hello Sun Gurus,

First of all: Thank you to David S. Foster who reminded me to check first
the FAQ because the answer was there. Next time, I promise to check there
first!

The original question was:

> We have bought a new Ultra II system. I would like to look at my
> scsi chains from the eeprom level.
>
> So I type the command
>
> ok> probe-scsi-all (It is what I use on my sparcs)
>
> and I get the following message:
>
> "This command may hang the system if a stop-A or halt command
> has been executed. Please type reset-all to reset the system
> before executing this command. Do you wish to continue? (y/n)"
>
> Even if I type "reset-all" or I select "yes, I want to continue" the
> message continue to be displayed each time I type probe-scsi-all (or
> probe-scsi). I changed nothing in the eeprom since we have the machine.

The answer is:

        ok> setenv auto-boot? false
        ok> reset
        ok> probe-scsi-all
        ok> setenv auto-boot? true
        
        If I meet the SUN engineer who implemented that I will let him know
        what I think of it...! As Thomas Frank says: "It's not a bug,
        it's a feature" ;-)
