Back to the Sun SPARCstation
Back to the Sun SPARCstation 5! In this second #UNIXtober 2021 video, I will replace the NVRAM and install Solaris 2.6. There's quite a bit of detail about properly configuring a CD-ROM drive to boot the OS installation media. There may be some other surprises at the end... ;)
00:00 Intro
00:46 Installing the NVRAM chip
03:54 The right CD-ROM drive for the system
08:27 Configuring the NVRAM
11:04 Booting from CD-ROM!
13:03 First look at Solaris
15:49 But can it play...
16:50 Closing remarks
This is the correct NVRAM chip from Amazon (affiliate link):

This is the NVRAM chip that I ordered from Digi-Key:

List of CD-ROM drives known to work or not work with SPARCstations:
https://www.sun3arc.org/FAQ/cdrom/sun...
Toshiba XM-4101B drives will fit in these cases properly.
Manual for the Plextor PX40tse. With the "block" jumper set, this drive definitely works for booting Solaris install media on a SPARCstation 5.

Sun apparently redesigned the SPARCstation 5 case lid and floppy drive to accomodate regular sized optical drives:

The unofficial Sun DOOM page:

And the Sun SPARC Doom binaries on archive.org:

Note: The file says that it's a tar.gz file, but it's actually just a tar file. That's actually good because Solaris 2.6 doesn't ship with gzip installed!
