IDPROM SETTINGS
  
DESCRIPTION
  
To view the contents of the IDPROM, at the monitor prompt '>' do a 's3', then a 'l 0' and four carriage returns and you'll get the following information displayed.
>00000000:     # # 1 1 0 8 0 0     11 = Machine Type
>00000004:     2 0 0 1 E 8 5 6     08002001E856 = Ethernet
                                   Number 
 
>00000008:     # # # # # # # #     Date
>0000000C:     0 0 2 5 1 E # #     IDPROM Serial Number
                                   (in Hex)
Machine Types are:
11 = Carrera - 3/75, 3/140, 3/150, 3/160, 3/180
12 = Model 25 - 3/50
13 = Sirius - 3/260, 3/280
14 = Prism - 3/110
17 = 3/60
21 = Sunrise - 4/260, 4/280
02 = Sun2 VME
01 = Sun2 Multibus
If you have the wrong settings for the prom, you can have watchdog resets, invalid frame buffers, SCSI timeouts, client boot problems, and spurious interrupts.
Hostid gives the machine type followed by the IDPROM serial Number.
