I've gotten my 7600 (with 604e CPU upgrade) to get as far as loading an
image via the (internal) ethernet with TFTP, although I haven't found an
image it likes. (From Bill's later message today, I guess that means it
needs XCOFF files.)  If I make a second attempt without resetting the system,
that fails differently, with "TFTP timeout".  I did note that on my system,
the right commands are "boot fd:0" or "boot enet"; "boot fd" didn't work,
which is why I started fiddling with the ethernet boot...  I did successfully
build a floppy boot disk with suntar and complete the 1.4 installation, but
haven't been able to boot that disk; that dies with a trap 400, even after
executing installboot manually (console log attached).  Any suggestions
are welcome...
