Hello Paul,

The 'problem' was that I first could not get past some device during
boot. Next I could not get past the network initialisation. Each day I
supped new sources and tried again. (also I started from SUN4C).
Yesterday I had success !

PS: I *had* to hack a line in mem.c

something like

char vmmsomething[SOMESIZE];

The system looks very stable now. (I recompiled lib and am compiling the rest now)

 Greetings,
