This may be a question which has been answered many times before,
but we are fairly new at this so here goes....
We have installed the Sun server on a Sun 3/280C at NASA/LaRC (NASA
Langley Research Center). We have not patched with anything except the fixes
provided in the distribution (no Purdue,etc.). We can only get the color
display up...no monochrome is available. We have checked /dev and
compared it to a successful server implementation on a Sun 3/60C in my office
and everything seems to match up (as far as /dev goes??). We can successfully
use diskless nodes attached to the 280 (3/60's) without any problem ( that
is , we have both color and monochrome). What are we doing wrong? What have
we missed? Are we that incredibly stupid ?? Any suggestions/responses/etc.
would be greatly appreciated. Thanx.
