| OpenBoot 3.1.5, 512 MB memory installed, Serial #8494867.

| ..Illegal Instruction
| {0} ok
|

| There are other bootblock around that will works on ULTRA2? and if i done mistake in the installation,what is the correct sequence to do in order to make the ULTRA2 boot from the disk?-
My guess is that the problem you see is not with the bootblock
but with ofwboot. You can verify this by:
set the PROM's fcode-debug? variable to `yes'
boot with the `-DV' flags
When you get the `that file does not appear to be
executable' message, type:
" /ofwboot" do-boot
You should then be able to see what happens as the bootblock
hunts for and loads ofwboot.
I would guess that the ofwboot image you have in the root
partition is corrupt, or possibly missing.
You can also check where the processor died by typing:
.trap-registers
taking the value in the TPC fields and doing
<value> dis
which will show you the instructions at that location.
