SYNOPSIS:     Can Solaris 2.1 x86 run on a secondary SCSI disk only?

OS RELEASE:   2.1

PRODUCT:      Solaris x86

KEYWORDS:     secondary SCSI disk DOS drive Solaris 2.1


DESCRIPTION:

Can Solaris x86 2.1 run on a secondary SCSI disk only? The first drive
is a DOS drive. 


SOLUTION:

Unfortunately, no it can not.  Solaris 2.1 will definitely support a
system with 2 hard disks, but there must be at least a small Solaris
partition on the primary disk. 

If you are running Solaris 2.4 or later you can use the MDB boot floppy
to allow booting to a secondary drive.
