Hrmmm...  The  collective  unconscious  at  work, I  think...  I  just
acquired a 4/330  the other day and there seem  to be several problems
with the install tools:

boot.net dies with an "Invalid Instruction 0x00000000"
when using  the OpenBSD boot.net, I  found the GENERIC  kernel with no
sun4 support...

I am having trouble diagnosing  the problem with boot.net though -- is
it because of  lack of sun4 support or is it  because the EEPROM seems
to have lost its long term memory? Does anyone know where I could find
fresh EEPROMs? The only alternative that I could think of is having it
boot  in DIAG  mode  all the  time  with a  console cable  permanently
connected, and have an expect  script that cancels the diagnostics and
fills in  all of  the appropriate EEPROM  locations, then does  a 'k2'
reset and hopefully boots...

Cheers,
