Actually, to correct myself, that's not strictly true. With some
messing around I got it to boot, but I hit what appears to be a kernel
bug. What I'm /not/ getting any success over is building a netboot
boot.img based on 2.6.26. Has anyone successfully built a SPARC
2.6.26 netboot image, and what steps did they take? All I ever seem
to get is 'ERROR: Last Trap: Illegal Instruction'.
Any help greatly appreciated...
Mike
