Hello,
I was given a Sun 4/110 which I'd like to revive.
I am trying to set it up to boot off the network. I am using
a Linux boot server that is already set up to network book a Sparc 1+
and an Intel box.
I followed the instructions in the FAQ for setting up a networked
server and it ALMOST works, the bootup fails because the kernel
(which I obtained in the 'sparc' section of the NetBSD archive at
ftp.netbsd.org) apparently is not set up for a sun4.
This is what I get:
Boot: ie(0,0,0)
Booting from tftp server at 206.55.232.198 = CE37E8C6
Downloaded 44400 bytes from tftp server.

NetBSD/sparc: this kernel does not support the sun4
Can anybody tell me where I can get a kernel that will work for
a Sun 4/110 ?
Thanks
