At this point, it hangs forever. That's a bit of an exaggeration really, I've only waited for a little over an hour. It's definately hard hung, though. An L1-A won't even resurrect it. I need to remove and reattach power.
Has anyone been successful in getting a SunBlade 100 to netboot?
OK, I'm starting to doubt whether this is even possible. While I'd still like to load from CD, I'm game for the Netboot method. I've set up a tftp server and placed a boot.img (http:// archive. ubuntu. com/ubuntu/ dists/dapper- updates/ main/installer- sparc/current/ images/ sparc64/ netboot/ 2.6/boot. img into the /tftpboot filesystem on the server. I've renamed it properly, and executed a `boot net` from the OK prompt of one of my SunBlade 100s.
It downloads the file, and I see:
Remapping the kernel...done.
Booting Linux...
