Care to give some further details on your SCSI troubles? The IPX uses
some variant of the Qlogic esp chip (the esp100a IIRC) which is more
or less the same as the SCSI chip in all sun4c and sun4m machines, the
only real difference being that the later models support higher clock
rates on the SCSI bus. All variants should be supported by the esp
driver in the kernel. (My Sparc Classic has worked nicely with all
the netboot images I've tried.)
