Just tried it, unfortunately so far no luck. I have the 20160802-16:21 image on a CD-R that boots SILO just fine, then load the kernel & initial ramdisk, then gets to "loading system daemons: ..."

Then the screen goes black with a blinking underline cursor at the bottom left for a short while.
Then the blinking cursor disappears.
Then - nothing. It just sits there. Doesn't sound like it's using the disk or cd.

Ultra 1/200E Creator
1 GB RAM
Creator 3D series 2 horizontal (not the original Creator series 1)
Unused TGX in the top SBus slot
SUN36G disk in the bottom slot
Plextor 32x CD-ROM set to 512 bytes/sector
... and I have no more serial port near it to try a serial console :-(

Any suggestion welcome.

Cordially,
