Different hardware though, Netra i (which is basically an Ultra 1 AFAIK) UltraSPARC 143MHz, 64MB OpenBoot 3.5, 2.1Gb IBM SCSI disk, NCR53C9XF SCSI controller, Toshiba SCSI CD-ROM, on-board (LANCE ??) ethernet. I also first tried to install using the floppy disk method. The boot disk works until after just the partition check it says: floppy0: WARNING disk change called early then asks for the root disk. After inserting the root disk nothing happens. I then tried the network boot method, and got results as above. If anyone wants more details, I'll try and help.
