Yes, agreed. Thanks for the work.
Not sure why, but the MAC address of the sq0 device is all 0 (00:00:00:00:00:00) as soon as the kernel starts.
Could that be because of the same known-issue that happens with the Indy? Ie.. if the battery dies and the system sits long enough, the MAC is lost and has to be re-set with a rather painful procedure.
The MAC address looks OK in the PROM monitor though and netbooting actually works as expected from there: Ethernet address is ---- 08:00:69:11:22:33
Hmmm... that seems to indicate that it's a software issue. Okay, nevermind.
I had an R4k Indigo for a while, but I had too many SGI's and had to shed a few. Nowadays it's only the O2+, Indy, and Tezro in my collection.
Thanks, Swift
