1 Hi,

4 experimental/sparc/tftpboot/sparc64/gentoo-sparc64-2005.0-20050717.tftpboot
5 image but it does not work.

8 {3} ok boot net
9 Boot device: /pci@9,700000/network@2 File and args:
10 /pci@9,700000/network@2: 100 Mbps full duplex link up
11 Requesting Internet Address for 0:3:.....

13 Error
14 Error -256

25 I have Gustavo Zacarias experimental 2.6.15 in elf-bzip? format. I'm not
26 sure but I think for openboot rom I need a.out-not-bzipped.
27
28 booting 2.6.15 in elf-bzip:

30 Remapping the kernel... ERROR:

32 Last Trap: Data Access Error
33 --------------------
