At this point, there is no way of telling what is wrong, you best check the system boots from the device
at ok promt type "devalais" and check the boot device what it is set to.
ok> printenv boot-device
use setenv if the boot-device is not set to device name.
ok setenv boot-device
ok reset
The other option is to try and boot using cdrom and see what happens.
#boot cdrom
its also worth running "probe-scsi" to check if you can see all disks.

aha..no its not my mistake
the message cuts off.
the setenv command should end with
"new device alias name" as third param.

Hamid, Thanks for your quickly prompt,

I tried #boot cdrom and I can see the disks (at Console mode),

But when I reboot it in Normal mode the screen shows :

From Hamid:

Hi

Try and boot from device
#boot /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/disk@0,0

Sounds like your boot disk is corrupt, if this does not work

set the boot-device to the above drive using setenv as shown in last email.
then #boot boot-device


make sure auto-boot is set to false
#printenv auto-boot?
