Booting a Debian installer on a Sun SunFire 6800
I'm having trouble trying to boot off of an install CD (I don't have
networking set up at the moment, but could probably get that set up). I'm
trying to install on a 2nd "B" domain on the machine, with a single
CPU/memory board.
When I try to issue the command to boot from the CDROM:
{14} ok boot /ssm@0,0/pci@1a,700000/pci@1/SUNW,isptwo@4/sd@6,0:f
or
{14} ok boot /ssm@0,0/pci@1a,700000/pci@1/SUNW,isptwo@4/sd@6,0
I immediately get the error message (no text between command and this):
<-------------------
ERROR: Illegal Instruction
debugger entered.
<-------------------
Looking at where the PC is and what's there in memory (seems to be same
for sd@6,0 and sd@6,0:f):
<-------------------
{14} ok %pc .
4004
{14} ok 4000 40 dump

I can boot a copy of Solaris installed on the disk just fine. Here's a
copy of the output from the openboot prom initialising:
