Illegal instruction booting with sparc64
Cannot netboot from sarge-sparc-netinst.iso on SunFire v240
(http://www.sun.com/servers/entry/v240/datasheet.pdf)
Steps to reproduce:
1. On install server: As in Solaris network installation guide: cd
/cdrom/cdrom0/s0/Solaris_10/Tools/ && ./setup_install_server /export/home0/
cd /export/home0/Solaris_10/Tools && ./add_install_client vpn sun4u
Then I copy everything from debian iso to
/export/home0/Solaris_10/Tools/Boot/platform/sun4u
rm /export/home0/Solaris_10/Tools/Boot/platform/sun4u/kernel/sparcv9/unix
2. On client:
Rebooting with command: boot net
Boot device: /pci@1f,700000/network@2 File and args:
1000 Mbps FDX Link up
4000 1000 Mbps FDX Link up
boot: cannot open kernel/sparcv9/unix
Enter filename [kernel/sparcv9/unix]: boot/sparc64
Illegal Instruction
{1} ok
With solaris kernel it boots fine, though.
