I can't duplicate this one on sparc 10 and sparc 20. This looks like a duplicate of bug #2602. I'll bet the user was performing a headless install. Yep, headless install on a SS% |
I can't get a Sparc 5 to properly net boot from the tftp32.img tftd image. It starts to boot but fais with: RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0 VFS: Mounted root (romfsfilesystem). Warning: unable to open an initial console. And it just hangs. Booting off the 5.2 tftp boot image work fine.
