Comments/Problems:
This is a sun4u machine, so it should be supported by sarge, no?
The system is running OpenBoot3.25.
probe-scsi-all detected the cd drive ok.
The boot command was
ok boot cdrom
The corresponding output is
Resetting...
< openboot prom messages >
Boot device: /sbus/espdma@e,8400000/esp@e,880000/sd@6,0:f
SILO Version 1.4.4
Fast Data Access MMU miss
ok
Also tried an earlier version, beta3 netinst of 2004-03-30
(3ed15e150e820b47886d8058d0d99d33). This failed in the same way.
Also tested with Woody 3.0 disc 1 - I got further here
(ie I got the welcome prompt from the installer) but I chose not to
fully boot into the installer kernel.
