It doesn't seem that the RSC is the problem, but I have two bad slots on 
the CPU backplane (as verified by booting this on my other V880).  That 
V880 is installed with "2.6.26-1-sparc64" from Debian/Lenny, which 
booted ok on this one when I cloned the disk (and pulled the CPU modules 
from the bottom two slots).  It looks like this 2.6.32-rc3 will boot, 
but I can't get the onboard (sungem) ethernet to work (on either 
2.6.26-1-sparc64 or 2.6.32-rc3).
