Some small progress was made.  When last we left our hero, the SLC would
say "Booting from: le(0,0,0)", but nothing ever happened.  Secretly, it
turns out the slc was doing this:

18:40:21.673695 slc2.713 > taniemarie.tftp: 23 RRQ "C081541A.SUN4C" (ttl 123, id 1234)

(tcpdump -vv.)

"arp slc2" revealed
	slc2 (192.129.84.26) at (incomplete)
so I (as superuser) did

	arp -d slc2; arp -s slc2 8:0:20:2:c5:df

This caused something to happen; suddenly, the slc output "6c00" and tcpdump
showed a lot of communication.

Now, the SLC has stopped doing anything, and I get nothing but
	18:45:18.674791 slc2.713 > taniemarie.1369: udp 4 (ttl 123, id 1234)

which tells me basically nothing.

I may try this again in a bit...

Is this sounding at all familiar to anyone?  Perhaps this symptom is not
unknown?
