Dear David,
Long time after you send suggest how to boot NetBSD/sparc
to me and I don't reply :( Now, I got a free time again :)
I still can't boot NetBSD/sparc by network but Linux/sparc
it work fine ( Linux RedHat). never mind
I decide make minirootfs on swap partition and boot. It will
success but system panic and return OpenBoot promt ( OK promt )
After that I try with OpenBSD/sparc and pickup boot floopy
to test OpenBSD/sparc and not work :( and try again with OpenBSD/sparc
minirootfs. system panic and show something look like debugger of
OpenBSD/sparc
panic: alignment fault
Stopped at _Debugger+0x4: jmpl [%o7 + 0x8], %g0
ddb>
I don't know how to capture all messages,Sun hardware,
debugger and manything I just would like to boot and install
[Net,Open]BSD/sparc :)
I wonder why I can boot Linux/sparc but not success with
[Net,Open]BSD/sparc
Thank you In Advance,
-Nop
