I've tried the bootonly and disc1 .iso files with no luck. In both cases the system hangs after the following message: ... Booting [/boot/kernel/kernel]... nothing to autoload yet. jumping to kernel entry at 0x0060000. The splash for this box reads: Sun Ultra 80 UPA/PCI (4 X UltraSPARC-II 450MHz), Keyboard Present OpenBoot 3.29, 4096 MB memory installed, Serial #51547294. Ethernet address 0:3:ba:12:8c:9e, Host ID: 83128c9e. This box has two expert 3D-Lite frame buffers. I've read some other posts where the problem was with an unsuported frame buffer. If that is the case here what are some recommended or at least supported options for an Ultra 80? Any information you can provide will be appreciated. -brian dye
