Some feedback regarding booting UltraLinux on an
Ultra 5:

I have not been able to do a successful net boot for
UltraLinux 1.0 and 1.0.9 on an Ultra 5.

1.0:  After loading the tftp boot image, there is a
      simple error message:

      Strange OBP version 'OBP 3.11.9 1998/03.06 10:31'
      Program terminated

      and you're back at the ok prompt.

1.0.9: The tftp boot image is loaded, the display
       switches to the white-on-black Linux display
       and the usual Linux kernel boot messages show
       up. After the line:

       hdc: packet command error: status=0x0d { Busy }

       the system hangs indefinitely. Looking through
       the messages the only thing that looks weird
       is the irq number "-1073739808" given for both
       ide0 and ide1.
