Well, hypersparc has a whole extra set of problems. Unless you use an
embedded root it's got a ~97% chance of not running init. Only way to
run a proper userspace on hypersparcs with 2.6.x is to boot into
busybox, nfsmount a system image and then repeatedly try to run things
until you get lucky with DMA...
