Comments/Problems:

kernel doesn't boot: install went like:

 {1} ok boot cdrom
 [...]
 SILO [...]
 [...]
 Welcome to Debian GNU/Linux etch
 [...] built 20060810
 [...]
 boot: <enter>
 Allocated 8 Megs of memory at 0x40000000 for kernel
 Loaded kernel version 2.6.16
 Loading initial ramdisk (356[...] bytes at [...] 00 virt)...
 Illegal Instruction
 {1} ok

This behavious is reproducable: I've done it about 3 times.  However, at
one attempt the machine said: "Fast Instruction Access NMU Miss".

The hardware might be wearing out: it's pretty old.  However, it still
_does_ boot a Solaris kernel fine.

So, if others can't reproduce this (while they are able to install),
feel free to close this bugreport.

The machine is a Sun Enterprise 450 (2 X UltraSPARC-II 296 MHz) with
OpenBoot 3.12, 1024 MB memory installed.

Bye,

Joost
