I just tried to load UP1.1 on an Ultra 30. This particular ultra
30 has a broken onboard ethernet controller, so we have a scsi/hme
card in it.
The tftpboot (boot /pci@1f,4000/pci@4/SUNW,hme@0,1) works (yippee,
first time we've gotten even this far on an Ultra 30) and we get to
the install screens.
But thats it. The ethernet driver keeps complaining that "Link down,
Cable problem?" when it tries to access out local NFS mirror. But of course
there is no cable problem, since the tftpboot process worked fine.
