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. -Rick -- Rick "The Hack" Richardson rick@dgii.com http://RickRichardson.freeservers.com
