Solution  1004453.1 :   Sun Enterprise[TM] 10000: How to run hpost on system board with no I/O configured

Description
How to run hpost on system board with no I/O configured.

Steps to Follow
When running hpost on a standalone system board which doesn't have any Sbus cards, hpost will fail as follows :

phase iom_probe: I/O module type probe...
No minimum system left after I/O module type probe! Bailing out!

... board dump ...

Exitcode = 76: Unable to configure a bootable system

To allow the system board to run without any I/O, simply add the following entry to the .postrc file for the domain.

no_scards_ok

This file is located in /var/opt/SUNWssp/etc/<platform>/<domain>/.postrc.

Similar issues with system boards without memory can be avoided by adding the entry to the .postrc file:

no_memory_ok
