I have a SPARCengine(tm)Ultra(tm) AXi (UltraSPARC-IIi 360MHz), No Keyboard OpenBoot 3.10.4 SME, 128 MB memory installed, Serial #10425614. which I want to put FreeBSD 5.1-BETA on. I grabbed the boot.flp (a bit over 4 MB), dropped it into my ftfp/rarp/bootparams server and made made all the setup right afaik. The file is properly tftp'd when I 'boot net' and I get ... Boot device: /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/network@1,1 File and args: - 404000 (this line counts up as it loads the file...) The file just loaded does not appear to be executable. ... Should I be doing something different with this? I was hoping not to have to download and burn a CD... Or am I just doing this wrong? Hm -- perhaps i should boot into my network recovery shell and dd this over the first slice? I'm new to FreeBSD on sparc64 - thanks for your patience and help.
