Hi All,

I just tried to netboot a netra-x1, but it fails with a Fast data MMU
miss;

Executing last command: boot net
Boot device: /pci@1f,0/ethernet@c  File and args:
Using Onboard Transceiver - Link Up.
3d000
Server IP address: 10.0.10.3
Client IP address: 10.0.10.254

bootpath="/pci@1f,0/ethernet@c"
boot: ethernet address: 00:03:ba:0b:c4:c1

Fast Data Access MMU Miss
ok

To do the netboot, I copied /boot from the 5.2.1 install cd to my
/tftpboot. 
I tried this same thing a while ago with 5.0, which had the loaders
split up. That version booted fine but I couldn't use the onboard nics,
so that's why I tried 5.2.1.
I'm not sure if this is the right way, but it seems to be able to find
and load all it needs. (The warning is shown because I activated verbose
in loader.conf)

Any ideas what I can try next?

I'm also a bit curious about about a small nfs problem I have whenever I
try to netboot/mount from my router. I can only use -r=1500, higher
values for nfs mounts hangs it. Netbooting the sparc from it is terrible
slow. The router has only two interfaces, one to my cable modem, and the
other is plugged in my lan switch.
(62.163.185.140<->10.0.10.1--->switch)
All the other boxes on the lan reach speeds as high as 10MB/sec. on the
router with no additional options I get 80KB/sec. When I use -r1500
6MB/sec and with a tcp mount about 2MB/sec.
Anyway, not really relevant for booting the sparc, but I thought someone
might know what's causing this? 

Please CC me, I'm not on this list. (yet)

Thanks,
Kind regards,

Axel Scheepers
