Verifying the Installation
After you have installed the Sun Quad FastEthernet PCI adapter, but before you boot
your system, perform the following tasks to verify the installation. Refer to the
Solaris 2.x Handbook for SMCC Peripherals manual or your Solaris documentation
for the detailed instructions.
1. Power on the system, and when the banner appears, press the Stop-A keys to
interrupt the boot process and to get to the ok prompt.
2. Use the show-devs command to list the system devices.
You should see lines in the list of devices, similar to the example below, specific
to the Sun Quad FastEthernet PCI adapter:
ok show-devs
...
/pci@1f,2000/pci@2/SUNW,qfe@0,1
/pci@1f,2000/pci@2/SUNW,qfe@1,1
/pci@1f,2000/pci@2/SUNW,qfe@2,1
/pci@1f,2000/pci@2/SUNW,qfe@3,1
...
The SUNW,qfe@x,1 entries identify the adapter’s four Ethernet devices.
Note - If you do not see the devices listed, check that the adapter is properly
seated and, if necessary, reinstall the adapter.
