I get the same with /that/ boot.net...

It's not your SLC that's broken, it's this file.
(Perhaps it's compiled with optimization/instructions für sun4m machines?
(gcc option -mv8))

You can pick up a boot.net that works (at least for my sun4cs and sun4ms)
here: http://seti.heh.uni-oldenburg.de/boot.net

(Or try the new snapshot pk announced a few minutes ago.)
