Bug#415768: [SPARC64] netboot fails => system frozen
I don't have a null-modem cable at the moment, but I think it's possible to get one by this weekend.
Guess it's possible to see some (error/warning) messages by using the serial line?
Yours sincerely,

Is removing the keyboard[1] and using a serial line option for you?

[1] Keyboard removal "forces" the bootROM to switch to serial port.
