Subject: [cobalt-users] reboot problem after raq3 to 550 upgrade


I recently upgraded my 3i via the 550 OSRCD.  I upgraded the bios first per 
the instructions on this forum, then performed the OS restore.  After the 
restore the system shutdown to reboot and then hung.  I discovered that I 
could restart the system by using the Select: Boot from disk ,and it's been 
that way since.  Otherwise it works perfectly.  Anyone seen this behavior 
before?

Thanks

Terrance,

It did NOT hang.  It was trying to do a netboot.  I had this problem
as well, so I plugged in my trusty null modem cable, and sure enough,
that was the problem.

It selects "Boot from Net" as the primary, I believe once you change it
to another method, it works fine then.
