[Bug 40119] Re: SPARC boot failed: Illegal Instruction

[Pete]

Hello Christian,

Thanks for the mail.

Managed to get it to fly (with Debian etch) by setting boot env to cdrom
disk net, poweroff completely and allow to beet from cdrom.

Obviously I'm assuming thay the colour of my trousers or the fact I was
standing on one legs and holding a chicken in my left hand at the time
played no part in the success :-)

Good luck

Pete

An upgrade to its latest version available (OBP 3.31.0 2001/07/25 20:35) made the error go away, system is booting fine now with silo 1.4.13-1.
