I recently bought an old ELC for fun. Up to now, I've simply
used it as a Xterminal for my FreeBSD systems (running Xkernel).
But now, I decided to boot it diskless to run NetBSD.
I followed the diskless NetBSD how-to, which was very helpful,
but when I went to boot it, it now says:
"The file just loaded is intened for a different CPU type."
That was after the it dowloaded the boot loader via tftpd.
This is with the NetBSD/sparc 1.41 distrib. In FreeBSD, the
boot file says it's a sparc executable:
p:root# file D10945C5.SUN4C
D10945C5.SUN4C: NetBSD/sparc executable
Any thoughts? I have deleted the install and tried it again,
just to be sure I did it right. I'd like to get this working
to see how our NetBSD friends live :)
