Well, don't netboot the flash-update-Blade100-05 on a SunBlade
150.
Needless to say I am back again and do not want to try the PROM
downgrade approach again.

My serial cable is no longer suspect, and so I've gotten the Woody
sun4u tftpboot.img as far as:
RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
Freeing initrd memory: 1131k freed
EXT2-fs warning: checktime reached, running e2fsck is recommended
VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem).
where it hangs.
Boot logs at:
http://people.debian.org/~bottoms/SunBlade150.boot
So, as anyone rolled out any newer images that might work with a
SubBlade 150? I am willing to test. Maybe the debian-installer folks
will have something soon?
