Hmm. I know it works to some extent, that's the style machine I've
been using to test the release CD's before posting them to the mirror
sites.
Are you using them with a serial console or are you trying to use the
keyboard with them? I think there are still issues with the USB
keyboards/mice. For some variants of sparc64 it's safe to shift off
the serial console after completing the install but if I'm not
mistaken about the USB problems you're best off leaving the Blade-100's
on a serial console for now.
If you are using the serial port for the console is there any chance
you can send the console messages you get during a failing boot?
